Hi all, parent of a 12 year old 3 years T1, we are running G6 self funded and have found it pretty good although they seemed to have closed the restarting loophole ? anyway east lancs NHS trust are willing to fund a pump and have offered these three (assuming they do not change their minds) omnipod, Roche insight and the medtronic 540G. He is fine with injecting and now having looked at the pumps I am wondering if it is all worth it. he is bad enough at keeping his phone with him for the G6 so the thought of having to carry something else around looks like an accident waiting to happen. I assumed they would all offer control via a phone but no. We would also have to switch from G6 of we went Medtronic I understand but I cannot find any pricing without giving them all mt details on their website. can anyone offer any advice. I want it to be simple for him and us and dont want to be wasting NHS time and money only to discover that it isn't for him. best regards.
