[QUOTE="Muneeb, post: 1958488, member: 491635"] If you are type 1, you maybe entitled to the freesyle libre on the NHS, if you don't ask you don't get! I did and was given it by the DSN. In regards to accuracy, mine isn't far off especially using the glimp app. But to me whats more useful than the actual BS value is the trend and what my blood glucose levels are doing with different types of exercises and how quick. Then I know if I need to have a snack or not beforehand. Knowledge is power and if you don't know how your BS levels react, you cannot manage them effectively! Also a cgm and pump in one won't be around for a few years at least and if it did, imagine the costs of that in comparison to a CGM at the moment. Self funding a CGM doesn't mean you have to use it forever, use it for a few months learn how your body reacts then manage independently if needed. [/QUOTE]
