- soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I wish I could remember who it was that asked for information about availablity of a pump for a child, in Reading
Still I did find out something. The Royal Berkshire Hospitals trust and the West Berks PCT, operate strictly on "Bean Counting" There used to be a couple of pump patiente, but their pumps were funded by charity. there isn't even a pump clinic in the area. Not one in the Royal County.
In fact, for one of the most prosperous parts of Britain, the diabetes servic is abysmal. From Strip rationing to pump or trainig courses. If it costs, they won't fund it. NICE guidelines mean nothing.
