[QUOTE="djjenko, post: 97856, member: 13295"] Hi Pumpers, Just had my appointment last Thursday 10th September 2009 to see if i am suitable candidate for a pump, after an hour with the specialist i was granted funding for a pump and chose the Accu Chek spirit. I have been type 1 for 34 years but in that time have developed a few diabetes complications but had trouble with my control. I have not been given my pump yet but the doctor said i would be on the pump within 4 weeks. I have to do a 2 day course for the pump awaiting the date to attend but do you get the pump sent to you or do you get them on the course? At present i am on 5 shots a day with Novorapid then 1 shot of Lantus before bed. The only thing i am concerned about is the size of the needle, i use with the pen 6mil needle size but the doctor said the pump needles are 13mil, that is my only worry, other than that i am looking forward to Pump therepy. Any advice most appreciated. Taken 12 months to be approved for funding. Cheers Shaun [/QUOTE]
