[QUOTE="amylh1, post: 1472877, member: 400850"] I know there's probably lots of threads about this but I'm still working my way around the site :facepalm:. Just wanted to know how many of you are using a CGM, if you still use a finger pricker and meter along with it, how much they cost, different brands, do they hurt etc.. I know nothing about them apart from that they constantly measure blood sugar & a little machine sticks on your body. About a year ago a nurse said I should look into one but because I couldn't afford it (still can't to be honest) I didn't bother. Even though I hear they're expensive I feel as though it would benefit me greatly as I'm so frightened of hypos that I leave BG running high & don't wanna do that anymore. I'm gonna go to my GP Monday and ask about it, but in the meantime would appreciate any info :) [/QUOTE]
