[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2392328, member: 482479"] Hi [USER=542058]@SJT1D[/USER], welcome :) As you say it can differ, but for me getting my first pump it was a case of "would you like to try a pump?" "ok we'll apply for the funding" a bit further down the line I needed to do carb counting training (my carb counting had been at a different hospital so they needed to make sure I knew what I was doing) and then I had to go for pump training, which is when I got my pump and the only paperwork I had to do was signing an agreement that I would insure the pump, do however many blood tests a day, that sort of thing. I know it can vary but most people have at least a few months wait between starting the process and getting their pump, I was on the priority list at my clinic, and although I can't remember exactly how long I had to wait I know it was in the first half of 2011 when I was asked if I wanted a pump and September 2012 when I got it :nailbiting: I know for a lot of clinics you need to have done DAFNE prior to getting a pump, that wasn't a criteria at my clinic though. Have you done DAFNE? [/QUOTE]
