Anyhow my question is with the changes that came in last week by where you can have private health care but still remain under the NHS, not worded right but you know what I am on about I hope, can I pay the difference in the cost of the pump offered by by consultant and the one I want. They only deal with Roche and although I don't know if they are any good I want the Medtronic one that has a constant infra red blood test monitor. The medtronic is 2750 for pump and 500 for the infra red blood test which is a fair chunk of cash. I don't know how much the Roche pump offered is but even if it is half the price that is a load of cash saved.If it is not possible and I buy the Medtronic will my GP write me a prescription for the needles and blood test bits that I need if they have not funded the pump. If not this could work out expensive.</blockquote>
