I've been put forward for a CGM on the NHS after trialling one for a month - but this was 8 months ago. I've heard nothing yet and presume no news is bad news.
It was AMAZING and made a huge difference to my BM's. After a week, my BM's ran between 5 and 7 and had only a small postprandial rise. I felt like a non-diabetic!
They are pricey though and I would struggle to fund the £1500+ a year they cost. I work in the NHS and can see that if you reduce this figure by the price of the BM strips you'd save plus figure in the cost of reducing complications, it would seem a bargain price. (seriously)
Has anyone been lucky enough to get theirs funded and any tips?
