[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1233890, member: 17713"] My CCG have a very set policy on expectations of CGM users... NICE are stupid, basically focusing totally on returning hypo awareness, and my CCG have limited CGM under exceptional/individual funding application to be solely based upon hypo awareness and it returning in 3 months! I was given a CGM 4 years ago fully funded by my CCG then. 4 years on (so not just 3 months) my CCG are insistent on an exceptional/individual application being completed.. They can't even see that people need them for other reasons than just hypo's... Thanks NICE!! To get application for me underway this is todays status: Report from my cancer therapist; Report from my stomach consultant; 7 page evidence from me; Evidence from my previous consultant; A retired consultant specialist brought in to consider my evidence; A funding manager. This is before my nurse then submits it to my consultant to a Panel of 4 persons. If refused and appealed I have to go before the Chair of the panel and then theres 3 appeals possible. When one CCG can allow consultants to make considered decisions, why does another waste so much time and money with a 3 month funding request? I am taking this forward now with two MP's and the Chief Officer of my CCG as I believe they are being discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010 against persons with life time permanent disabilities. Please sign the petition... If you tjink of the amount of persons with complications due to higher levels...amoutations, retinopathy, renal failure and the cost of this treatment to the NHS... Don't just think of hypo's.. Think of people like me who've had lymphnode removal and can't test in one hand due to breast cancer mastectomy. I have paralysis of my stomach/colon and I have looked after myself too!! Its no fun having dificulties eating/testing etc and people lime me need a CGM.... [/QUOTE]
