Hi, I'm Tazza, type 1 for 34 years. Been on a pump for the last 8 years and enjoyed all the benefits. However.....
Had a very bad hypo about 2 weeks ago that led to a seizure in the middle of the night - OH was panicked and called an ambulance - I had come round when they arrived and was eating jelly babies.
Been to see my diabetic team who have put me on a Guardian CGM for a week gut this is mainly to ensure I am safe to drive.
Anyway...
I am now bricking it about this happening again so am looking into CGM with alarms to wake me up if I hypo again at night.
Apparently my only option is to self fund - which I'm not sure I can afford. I'm pretty convinced that Medtronic system (pump and cgm working in unison) would ease my mind.
Just wondered if anyone has had any success in this area.
