How do you get a cgm? I'm thinking about applying for one.

Ultimately it's down to the clinical commissioning group. I had full support from my endocrinologist, diabetes nurse at the hospital and gp, but the CCG twice refused to pay for it. Finally at a later date they funded libre, and I later bought miaomiao myself, which has helped enormously.
Hello,
Unfortunately there is a criteria for it - severe hypoglycaemia where you needed assistance, hypoglycaemia unawareness - lack of symptoms or pregnancy(?)
Correct me if I’m wrong, if you decide to say you are hypo unaware and get a CGM, you may have to give up your driving license.
It also depends on your CCG, with my pump, there’s only around 80 people on it because hospitals would fund for the pump and not the CGM. I would advise speaking to your team to see what they’ll say.
