Hi pumpers, I am not a pumper but have been trying to get approval for one for the last two years, I came close to approval this week at my annual review, only for my hopes to be dashed by a technicality, I have been told that in principal I can be given a pump but because I work overseas for long periods each year, spending only a maximum of three weeks at a time back in the U.K. on leave. I have been told by my diabetic specialist that I need at least five continuous weeks in the U.K. for training to satisfy the requirements to issue a pump for my usage.
My question is, how long was your training period before you were let loose on your own?
