[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2270236, member: 450212"] I agree with [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER] , as a newly diagnosed person it will be very difficult to get one until you are out of your honeymoon period, and even then it will not be easy, I finally got approved in November last year after numerous attempts at trying to get one, and due to Covid I still haven't got it :( - I finally got approved due to the fact I can't deal with my dawn phenomenon with basal/bolus treatment - after having tried for the previous few years. I had to go on DAFNE/carb counting course before consideration (as far as I can tell they generally don't take anyone until they've been diagnosed for at least 6 months anyway) - despite having been carb counting for 35 years give or take - I also had to prove I could deal with tech (I put the poor nurses doing that check to shame about tech - I work in tech :)) In the end I only really got approved cos my previous consultant (who was a bit of a red tape man) retired so I got a new consultant. Just because it sounds like it will make life easier will not be a valid reason to get you approved I'm afraid :(. There is a lot of red tape to be got past and proof that no other method will work for you. [/QUOTE]
