[QUOTE="Lyntype1, post: 1473115, member: 135568"] Thanks for the really useful info above. I've been Type I for nearly 40 years & as my BG has become more difficult to keep in range recently, was considering CGM, though put off by self-funding. So as I drive it will not stop me having to do blood tests as well & as my BG is likely to be higher rather than hypo, it might allow me to bolus off it to avoid more health complications - but the cost probably makes me stick to the traditional for now! On a final note, I would be worried if the NHS criteria is only for those at risk of hypos / lack of awareness, in trying to pursue that route - cos if you do / want to drive, the DVLA do not want those people on the road anyway, so could screw up your chances of a driving licence too.
