[QUOTE="SJT1D, post: 2393083, member: 542058"] Hi all, Thank you for responding :) As I expected, it is pretty dependent on areas etc. I guess I just need to see what happens when I go to the hospital in a couple of weeks. Is training done with just your medical team, or with someone from the manufacturer as well? Are there any questions that I should ask at my appointment/anything I need to be aware if? [USER=465882]@Maco[/USER] - that is the system that I have been offered. I didn't get a choice in pumps at all, as I was told that funding would be given for both a CGM and pump, and so my hospital want a system that will work together. Can I ask how you have found the system, especially with regards to calibrations? Has your insulin dosage changed since being on it? (I've seen that most people seem to be on slightly less insulin per day, since switching?) Are the items (with exception of actual insulin) sent straight from Medtronic themselves, or are they collected on prescription from pharmacy? If sent from Medtronic, how does this work? Have the company themselves been pretty decent? Sorry for all the questions, and once again - thank you to everyone who responded - after more than 25 years, and type 1 since childhood, this will just be a massive change! [/QUOTE]
