Hi All
Just wondering how long people had to wait before they were given a pump??
Just wondering how long people had to wait before they were given a pump??
Thank you it has been mentioned to my dietician who has said that theres at least a years wait unless of course someone changes their mind about having one and it might be sooner, am waiting on seeing the DSN who deals with them so hopefully ill get an appointment soon to discuss.Hi @joanne75 It can vary greatly, it took me about 10 months from initial discussions with my DSN to the day I was given mine, it went for approval at the 'board' and was turned down at the first hearing, then approved at the second. I didn't think it would happen throughout the process as didn't want to be disappointed if it wasn't approved. Have you already discussed this with your team ?
OMG 8yrs is a very long timeDepends on the local NHS personally it has took me 8 years to get back in a room with the pump doctor
Yes I will I have already been asking when I will get an appointment but everything takes times doesn't it but I am def on it, I am also having a trial for the Libre next week as well so I very excited about that, thanks all will keep you postedMy best advice is to keep pushing them, it's very much down to you to motivate your team to work with you on this, good luck and let us know how you get on
