[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1904050, member: 374531"] Hhm, [USER=488399]@Mark&Phoebe[/USER] , that's a difficult one! I'm in Scotland, Edinburgh, where NHS Lothian has one of the most liberal policies anywhere in the UK if you want Libre - if you're T1, you'll get it, and we bling it up quite easily with blucon or miaomiao to make it comparable to dexcom. I've no idea about pumps. I'm MDI, happy with that, but the last couple of six monthly consultations I've been to, the docs have said, fancy trying a pump, we're going to get you guys on closed loops in a few years time, so try getting used to it. It's still a massive post code lottery here at at the moment on the cgm/pump front - don't expect to walk in from America and have the same choices as your insurers will provide, but you'll be getting your insulin and strips for free. Here's a link to ECED, a collaboration of the Lothian hospitals doing diabetes stuff: [URL]http://www.edinburghdiabetes.com[/URL] We also do some really good festivals! [/QUOTE]
