[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1458519, member: 295621"] Well said [USER=49223]@Chas C[/USER]. Everything comes at a price. Bye bye driving license, hello CGM. It's a no brainer what I'd choose to be honest. [USER=397995]@ALGO[/USER], I personally know pumpers on here (with the same pump ironically) and no CGM who are achieving HbA1c's <40mmol/mol. Now, I fully appreciate that every T1D's condition demands more/less than the next persons, and yours might be more awkward to manage, but my point is that a CGM will not give you good control. At best it will help, but for the most part - it's important to know how to manage your condition as effectively as possible, regardless of what tech is used. All the CGM does is tell you a number, which way it's going and where it's been. It's not a magic bullet. I also agree with [USER=220050]@paulliljeros[/USER], our NHS is in no fit state to start handing out CGM's - and I wouldn't want it to in a month of Sundays. [/QUOTE]
