[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2267121, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=524746]@CelalDari[/USER] It’s great your interested and keen to know more. If you decide you want to start pump therapy there’s a few things to consider, what criteria will your CCG have for funding a pump for you ? Some trusts are reluctant to offer pumps due to the sheer cost, pumps cost a lot of money, some trusts are restricted on funding and will only fund a limited number for patients so it’s best to ask your diabetic team about their criteria. They would also require you to complete a Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating DAFNE course first, so you need to show that you are out of your honeymoon phase, which can take a year before doing DAFNE and the course shows your team you are capable of making adjustments and managing your condition so competent at managing your pump as having one requires a lot of work and effort, pumps aren’t magic wands as they require constant monitoring. I don’t want to dampen your enthusiasm but if you do decide this is the best way to manage your condition then it will take a while before you can access one. [/QUOTE]
