[QUOTE="ma5on, post: 72027, member: 13825"] Hi scotts mum I don't know about Reading specifically, but from my experience the hospitals will require your son to have done some form of carb-counting course as this is an essential skill when using a pump. Also, I BELIEVE the NICE guidelines state that the patient needs to demonstrate an inability to maintain an HBA1C under 8% without persistent and debilitating hypos. I think this might be different for children though.....hopefully some experts can advise??? (Only know the above as I am currently being considered for a pump myself at Basingstoke, but as this falls under Hampshire and not Berkshire I can't assume the same applies! Love the NHS lottery!!!) ma5on [/QUOTE]
