[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1615236, member: 295621"] I have used the G5, as have many other members of the forum:) In terms of getting a CGM on the NHS, you'd be hard pushed to do so. Access to CGM tends to be strictly reserved for those who have extraordinary difficulties with their BG management, typically affecting their survival. If you don't fit that criteria, you're unlikely to qualify unfortunately. It's also worth adding that the NHS does not offer part funding for anything diabetes related. They have to supply everything or nothing. You may want to look into the Freestyle Libre if you will (and likely will) be self funding. It does not require a transmitter so is typically cheaper than a true CGM, such as Dexcom. [/QUOTE]
