[QUOTE="andi140373, post: 1560930, member: 201546"] I asked for one on a Thursday at my antenatal clinic and got one the following Tuesday! They mentioned that I had it to support the pregnancy and could keep it while breast feeding so I breast fed my son until his second birthday! By then, I'd had it for almost three years so it had become my established treatment method and I was allowed to keep it. I've now been on it for over 6 years. Recently I was talking to the nurse about pumps and asked about their frequency of use. When I first got one, pump clinics were always on a Monday but now there are several each week to cater for the massive increase in number of users. She made it sound as if you could have one to try if you requested it. This week I went to my annual review and was given a freestyle libre reader and sensor to try. She said that they recommended them for all pump users and that they should be available on the NHS soon. This was two days before the announcement about 1st Nov! [/QUOTE]
