[QUOTE="Mark&Phoebe, post: 1903970, member: 488399"] Hello all, I currently live in America, but am planning to return to the UK in a couple of years. The reason for my question is that I'm wondering which of the two is more willing to provide insulin pumps/cgms to a T1, and which seems more generally 'sensible' in how they treat us? Right now, I'm fortunate to have very good insurance through work which pays 100% of my pump (Omnipod) costs, and 100% of my CGM (Dexcom) costs as well, but leaves me to pay about £300 per year for my insulin and test strips. I really want to hang onto the pump and CGM as I find them essential to my well-being. I've looked up what I can, and it seems that, as long as the doctor I see agrees I need these, it shouldn't be too hard to get approval. But talking to actual users would be much more useful, I think. I very much appreciate any insights you can share regarding your experiences, thank you. [/QUOTE]
