Hi Susie, I got approved end Jul 2013, and went live on the pump end Feb 14. It seemed a lifetime, but I'm told I had it pretty good in terms of a wait - others been on the list for 3 years.
As others have said, keep chasing. I regularly emailed the consultant, DSN and pump specialist.
In the interim, I used the time to research into pump therapy as much as I could, so I got the most out of the pump education day I had 2 weeks pre-start. I also tightened up on carb counting etc. The knowledge helped at the beginning. which was a pretty trying couple of weeks.
It's definitely worth the wait. Good luck and keep on at them!
