[QUOTE="keithharrison, post: 2004282, member: 501644"] I have been using an insulin pump now for 7-8 years. I recently had a diabetic review at the hospital. Within two days of that I received an insulin pump contract through the post. This is a totally new concept to me. Basically is says that if i do not achieve targets listed the pump use will be reviewed and the pump and consumables withdrawn. The targets that have been set are to my unreasonable. EG - i have had one hypo in that last 2 months and they are expecting me to improve on that. They want improvement in Hypo awareness. How can i improve awareness of this when i already know all symptoms? Yes the one area I do need to improve upon is improvement in HBA1C control for which there are valid reasons for blood sugars sky rocketing at times. I fear that to sort this i am going to have to text my bloods hourly 24 hours per day!!! CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THE LEGALITY OF THIS CONTRACT AND ALSO IS IT NATIONWIDE I can upload the contract is needs me - at present I refuse to sign it [/QUOTE]
