[QUOTE="Step, post: 822671, member: 174552"] Hi All, I hope you are well! I've never been here before, probably about time really... I'm a Type 1 and have been for about 23 years. I'm still an old school Insulin Pen user after finding a pump trial a little limiting a couple of years ago. I am looking and hoping to self fund a CGM system, not necessarily worrying about an insulin pump. Although not perfect my control isn't too bad but I want to catch rising and falling levels rather than realising I have already reached a little further one way or another than strip testing does. I test quite a lot, up to 15 times a day, generally between 5-10 times. I've been told that this is excessive by some Dr's and I feel guilty for costing the NHS money, however, I worry about the future and so I continue to test. I feel a CGM would be awesome for me. Each day is different each day should be enjoyed. I'd love to catch things that little bit sooner and eliminate as many more of the negatives as possible. This thread is pretty old now but fingers crossed you're all still reading it. Which CGM would people recommend now in April 2015? I'd love to hear from you. Many thanks, Step. [/QUOTE]
