[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2502332, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=533331]@Olihill99[/USER] Ah I wish life was that simple and that if you wanted a pump you should get one, but as for the reasons already discussed above they are not easy to access within any CGM, there is a funding process to gain access and it all starts with a great relationship with your diabetic nurse or consultant. Pumps are expensive and users need to present a good case for funding, each case is reviewed by the CGM board and if they feel the case meets NICE guidelines then there is a good case to get one, the process can take months, but generally no t1 get's one within a year unless they are a child. I was 6 years diagnosed before I was able to get access and it was mostly down to the fact I had built a brilliant relationship with my DSN who could see I would benefit from one, before that I didn't want to give control to a machine. Build good relationships with your team, work at it, get on DAFNE when the opportunity presents itself, do your best and your team will help. Also are you using a half unit pen for bolusing. It helps with better dosing accuracy ? [/QUOTE]
