[QUOTE="j400jmo, post: 1309316, member: 92767"] Dear all A small technical hitch has befallen me to which I could really do with some help to resolve, Let me explain his in simple terms, I have had a new Roche insulin pump for just under one month, a jolly smart tool it is and I am quite fond of it, however, since supply of the new pump without insulin to suit I have had to ask weekly for more insulin from the following, Consultant at Basingstoke hospital Senior diabetes nurse at Basingstoke hospital Reception team at Pinehill surgery Bordon Pharmacist at Boots the chemist at Bordon I have written and hand delivered 3 separate letters to my surgery asking in the polices terms for a new prescription, explaining the need for my insulin use and confirming the new pump I use jess a different type of insulin from my old pump. I have e-mailed my consultant who agreed to the pump being offered to me, no response to date, no response today cram the diabetes team senior nurse. A great response from Novo Nordisk telling me that as insulin was a prescription only drug, I could not purchase directly. (yes I was willing to pay for insulin myself), I use a pump as I have no working pancreas, I did not ask for this issue, and for the past 22 years have attended appointments, been pleasant to people, and jumped through all of the hoops placed in front of me in terms of education, blood testing and appointments. I have been asking for insulin for the past month and now am abut to run out, if this happens I will remove my pump, turn it off and instruct my wife to call am ambulance at the appropriate time. Sounds a little dramatic, but I see no other options. To say that I am a little angry is an understatement, in. I have insulin until Thursday of next week, I have said this same line to all and everyone, I am not sure how much clearer I can be Mod edit to remove contact details. [/QUOTE]
