How exciting!
Sometimes I wonder if I just got really lucky with mine, I went to an appointment with the intention of mentioning a pump but I got asked if I would consider one before I could bring it up myself, it was the registrar so he popped out, spoke to consultant then came back in and said he agreed so they put my name down. I didn't hear anything for a couple of months but turns out that was an error so when I went back they asked why I hadn't started then organised a dietician appointment and a pump start appointment for about 2 weeks later and I was off! Though I didn't get a choice of pump at that hospital when I moved and came back home they just continued and when it was up for a new one they let me choose whichever I wanted. I am so grateful for my pump, can't imagine going back to being without it now!
