[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2344266, member: 365308"] Hello and I hope you enjoy your move to the UK! [B]Do you know where you will be living? [/B] From this you can determine which CCG (clinical commissioning group) will be paying for your requirements and may be able to ask the relevant pump administrator what kit they offer. Also pumps and libre are rationed at consultant level so your first job would be to get referred to a consultant because you have had complications and/or have unstable diabetes. Your insulin is commonly prescribed so I cannot imagine that a GP will not prescribe assuming a reciprocal prescribing system but it will benefit you to stock up no doubt. Ditto your pump consumeables and perhaps an insulin pen just in case your pump goes wrong. I have heard that in my local CCG they were offering patients the Dexcom G6. Most consultants and nurses seem to be very pro all the tech on offer but they do have to help you meet the criteria to justify the budget. I got my own pump (Roche) because I was being seen by a consultant and mentioned that I was pretty sporty and finding that part of diabetes difficult. [/QUOTE]
