[QUOTE="Steveee, post: 52490, member: 12910"] I do not believe that there is a strict guideline, but most trainers will follow guidance from the pump manufaturers. After completing the CHO counting course, my actual pump training took 2 sessions of approximately 1 hour each! 1st session was choosing the infusion set; how to programme the pump; confirming basal and carb/insulin ratio; inserting and priming the infusion set. As I got on so well, I started the pump there and then! Came back next day to check everything was working and I was let loose! That was 2 years ago, so this may have been tightened up. [/QUOTE]
