[QUOTE="diabetes51, post: 315216, member: 34771"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] Unfortunayely GPs will be in charge of funding from April and mine does not approve of the pump. I do not detect hypos until my BS is below 1.9mmol/l but he just thinks I should take less insulin. 1. Having a consultant and care team in your area qualified to care for people on a pump, may be one barrier against anyone having one. 2. Having a GP that is willing to give up bonus payments and power into the hands of a consultant is another. I personally believe the problem is that, if I am placed in the care of a consultant who is qualified to look after patients on pumps, then my GP will no longer get the bonus payment for doing the famous 9 tests that are supposed to eliminate all our problems. My GP appears to believe that if the 9 tests are all within normal limits, there is no need for discussion or help with any problems experienced, a total Wally. [/QUOTE]
