I assume you did the V300 not the V100/150? If I remember correctly, I passed the V300 at the end of June and was up and prescribing by the end of September. It doesn't take too long to have it...
Hi Belle and welcome :) What you wrote reminded me very much of myself some 20 years ago. I always felt uncomforatble the first weeks of placement and the chopping and changing around really does not...
