[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 2366200, member: 49223"] I have the Dexcom and the t:slim. Most non CGM pumps are no different to CGM pumps where you do not activate the CGM, so I'd leave this out of the equation for now. I'd go for a GCM capable pump and then decide to either stay as is, self fund or fight for funding. Remember you get the pump for 4 yrs. As for the move, I held off for maybe 8-10 yrs after being offered a pump and now in hindsight wished I'd moved to a pump when first offered. It was the "having something joined to me" concerns that put me off for so long. Some locations do support CGM when backed up by your consultant - for me I self funded for 8 yrs, got moved to Dexcom then found my area would fund the CGM and my consultant fought my corner and eventually won for me.
