[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1180637, member: 295621"] Hello:) As far as I'm aware (in the UK) you cannot purchase a pump without the consent of your diabetes team. This is because there are various training courses which need to be undertaken by the user in order for them to use the equipment safely and effectively. There are also a lot of other 'consumable' items to consider for cost reasons and these combined with the initial outlay for the pump itself will go well into the thousands £GBP in the first year and the years to follow. Unfortunately purchasing a pump is not just a case of getting one from the cheapest online international vendor; there are many other factors to consider. This recent thread may be of use to you: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/pump-cost-comparison-for-private-funding.79634/page-3#post-1180551[/URL] Grant:) [/QUOTE]
