Hi all!
Long time lurker, first time posting.
I was approved for an insulin pump sometime in December 2021. By Christmas my clinic hadn’t yet applied for funding so I expected it to be a few months before it would all be arranged. But this morning I had an unexpected delivery of the pump at home (Tslim X2). I didn’t even realise funding was approved!
My question is basically what now? I had thought the process in the UK is that it would be sent to the hospital and then I would get a date for my pump start/training but I haven’t been told a thing. I’ve seen others in the USA get pumps at home and then book training with Tandem directly rather than their clinics. Is there something similar here? Or do I just have to wait and speak with the clinic on Monday when they open.
Thanks for your help!
