[QUOTE="zand, post: 1580505, member: 85197"] I read that supplies for the pumps cost between £1000-£2000 per year. Maybe the NHS wastes less by giving you a pump that's cheaper to run? I once needed an extra blood (thickness) test before an op. If I didn't have one then the op would be cancelled. My surgery refused to give me one saying that a weekly one was enough. The test strips cost £2 each. I ended up buying my own tester (£300) and a tub of strips (£50) from Amazon so that I could have my op. I still prefer this system to the one in the USA though.
