[QUOTE="SimonClifford, post: 452779, member: 51740"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] Exactly, so your area is "good". Go to the QHB Birmingham & they'll tell you you've got to do DAFNE, you do it, you carb-count & you test >6 times daily. Then the consultant says, "we'd like to give everyone a pump who wants one, but I'm very sorry we have too many type-1s in the area already in pumps". You go to Rugby & they say, "oh, in this area we find we're so successful on MDI we hardly ever need to consider pumps" Go to Malvern & they say, "That's quite specialist treatment, I don't think we can offer it in Worcestershire". Go to Stafford, and they say, "yes, we're very proactive about pumps, we are near the high-end of the recommended quantity. We must be sure that you understand all the implications and can use it intelligently. Let's have a chat" And that, is how Stafford got me a pump. [/QUOTE]
