[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2041907, member: 53162"] There's 211 CCG's across the UK, as they all operate as individual units and all have a financial budget to do so, it is down to each CCG as to how that money is spent and what influence pump manufacturers have within that unit. It is purely cost driven. My trust only offered 1 pump, which made my decision making process easy. The best advice to anyone who has the option is to look at youtube as many pump users like to post vids on their pumps which gives a useful insight into how they are promoted, also to write a priority list as to what attributes are most important to them. Pump functionality is fairly uniform so it does really boil down to tubing/tubeless, CGM compatibility, pump support and reliability. Same as [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] regardless of only having the one option available I would rather have this than no pump at all. [/QUOTE]
