[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2536238, member: 372717"] A cgm is a continuous glucose monitor. ( Libre is cheaper than dexcom). It's a small sensor that you attach to your arm and allows you to read your current blood sugar level on your phone. [URL]https://www.freestylelibre.co.uk/libre/free-trial.html[/URL] If you are in the UK and are diabetic you can have a free trial of the libre, but your clinic should give it to you on prescription, so if you're not yet getting it I suggest you push for a clinic appointment asap, and ask for one along with advice on how to manage your levels in the light of your eye issues. The target level of an hba1c of 48mmol/L is basically chosen because diabetic eye issues are much rarer if you keep below this level, but given that sudden changes in bg can also exacerbate eye issues in the short term, you could really do with some advice on how best to proceed.
