[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2339321, member: 450212"] As well as being a postcode lottery it can also be a consultant lottery, I tried to get a pump for about 2 years with no success, but as soon as said consultant retired and I got a new one, he agreed with my (previously stated) reasons for needing a pump and I got approved. My hospital doesn't give a choice of pumps, you get an Accu-check something or if you can make a very good reason for needing sensors you can get a Medtronic (though for me they wouldn't approve the sensors until I'd tried the pump for a while and I'm now trying to get the sensors to go with it - the consultant agreed at beginning of Oct that he'd try and get funding for me ....)
