Other CGM are not yet at a low enough cost, and until DVLA approves a libre like system the NHS can't save the cost of test strips.
Remote reporting of CGM data needs the NHS to have a setup that provides REAL support and training given by people who understand diabetes and carbs. This clearly should be done, and then CGM is likely to become a very cost effective. But without solving the training and support problems I expect that CGM will remain a useful tool for the few.
I would like an easy way for people to include photos of all food/drink with their CGM data, but the NHS can't require people to have smartphones.....
Let's remember that per year the libre costs the NHS about the same as half a day of nurse time, so if the money was spent on support/training would it get a better result?
