Hi.
CGMs can be bought from CDE Pharmacy or Pharmacy Direct, but they are quite expensive.

Most medical aids will give a limited number of free test strips if you are type 1, but most of them do not cover a CGM. You won't be able to get free test strips if you are not on medical aid unless you go to a government hospital to apply as far as I know, but I am not sure how you would go about applying.
