[QUOTE="Geordie lass, post: 2031656, member: 111654"] I too am hypo unaware. I live alone and I always have hypo's overnight...my Consultant was very worried about this and I was last year funded for CGM. I have been using a Medtronic pump for years now and I currently use the 640G, which links up with the CGM Enlite sensors provided by Medtronic, to read my BGL's 24/7. I still have to test my BGL's a few times during the day to callibrate my pump & CGM, but it has been a life saver for me, especially overnight. This is great because I can set my pump so that when the CGM suspects me going low it suspends my insulin pump until my BGL's rise above a certain level. It is definitely worth getting a pump and using it along with CGM, especially as you have nocturnal hypo unawareness. You should push this with your Consultant as you should be funded for the CGM alongside an insulin pump, especially not being hypo aware! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
