Message: <blockquote data-quote="Johndotcom" data-source="post: 1085246" data-attributes="member: 161469">I purchase my Cannulas, reservoirs etc direct and are delivered to my home address.The Pump is purchased and paid for by my Diabetic Clinic (NHS) but they cannot afford cannulas/Reservoirs/inserters and accessories, but fully monitor me under NHS. The continuous carbohydrate readings from the unit, that are sent to pump is only available if fully paid for by the patient, but they again will train/monitor you. I can't afford that and just do around 8-10 blood test a day. The only serious problem for me is I hate the pump I'm using and the feeble alarm that you cannot hear if anything goes wrong, or you miss a Bolus etc. You should be able to choose, but unfortunately no such joy. Some areas in the Country don't supply or let patients have pumps due to poor funding which is worse than my situation.  -Parts of Yorkshire/Scarborough etc. (Unless now altered, but didn't move there because of this.)</blockquote>
