[QUOTE="Capt-Slog, post: 2143736, member: 500850"] I just want to point out that the t:slim [U]wasn't[/U] originally available from my CCG. In all fairness to them though, they were offering a choice of 6 pumps at the time, which was really good compared to other CCG's. However, i REALLY wanted a t:slim X2, so i explained to my team why i wanted it, and why it fitted with my needs. I also pointed out that at least 2 of the 6 that they were offering were very out of date and perhaps should be removed. I am lucky because my team sat down and talked it through and agreed that the t:slim should be an option, AND they agreed that the "OLD" two should be removed. Now, not every CCG is as helpful as mine, and i do count myself as very lucky. However, i also think that sometimes you do have to "persuade" your team to "go into bat" for what you want. It really is a case of "If you don'y ask, you don't get". If you feel that there is a pump that suits YOUR lifestyle, then gather as much information as you can and make your case. If your team feel that you are really committed to your choice of pump, AND you have done a lot of the work for them, you will be surprised at how helpful they can be. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
