Message: <blockquote data-quote="iHs" data-source="post: 125434" data-attributes="member: 8799">Hello SweetcheeksI know zilch about Addisons but from looking at yr first message the fact that yr consultant thinks that a pump will benefit you means that in fact you dont really have to do anything but wait.  The consultant will make the application for pump funding on your behalf so you wont have to plead for a pump by looking to see if you meet the criteria set by NICE.  Your consultant obviously thinks that you do meet it.  There is a link to the Nice criteria within the Pump section of this forum.Not sure if you will need to see a dietitian as youve already done a DAFNE course but you will need to see a pump dsn who will arrange for you to see an insulin pump rep who will show you their pump and how it all works etc.Dont know how long it will take for your PCT to fund the pump but lots of hospitals now have diabetics on pumps within 6 months of the application being made.</blockquote>
