[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1050715, member: 211504"] That petition was posted here several weeks back just like many similar petitions that unfortunately don't seem to have been very effective. Perhaps the first step in receiving funding is to ask for partial subsidies rather than full? Gaining 100k signatures will be incredibly difficult (especially considering there's only a few hundred thousand people with t1 in the entire UK). The other thing that needs to be pursued is creating competition within the private sector. Advanced Therapeutics are charging astronomical prices because they can. There's no one else competing against them. Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe the only way to get this to work is to increase advocacy for CGMs and the only way to do that is to get more people using them. I realize it's a catch 22, but even if the price were subsidized by 50% that would allow many more people to afford the technology. [/QUOTE]
