Call or write to them again and remind them it's been a year and you'd really like to know where things are at, as you need for one is getting worse. Your GP might also be able to write to them and explain again the medical reasons for you needing a pump, and verify that you are getting lots of lumps.

I eventually got my pump but had to get confirmation initially from my GP, Diabetic Consultant before my DSN pushed it through. Once (one of the Consultant team) they confirmed officially in writing with the DSN I met the criteria it took about a year and a half. I had previously done the courses but funding had to be confirmed. Unfortunately it can take time but don't give up.

I know it will take time It has been 2 years now when the hospital said they will put me on the course for it my gp has sent emails to my consultant to see what is going on they said am next but the course was in August.

Any ideas if funding for your pump has actually been agreed. This was a sticking point according to my DSN who I bombarded with test results and emails.

Sounds like you need to speak directly to your consultant team/DSN so they can let you know what is going on. Hoping they are approachable.
