[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 1156008, member: 20775"] All a very interesting read though the systems can't really compare and I don't see the NHS taking any real notice of this kind of ruling, when it happens. The US system is broken in its own way but then so is the NHS, in its own way. My own feeling on this is that until a proper closed loop system drops that shows a major quantitative improvement in treatment effectiveness we will not see any real changes in NHS attitudes. Obviously the CGM is a foundational component of such a system. I guess all in all it mostly comes down to scale more than anything to get the costs down and in that we have the proverbial chicken & egg situation. All that being said there are a number of non-invasive or minimally invasive CGM systems that seem to be really close to release so hopefully the additional competition the market will force a change. /A [/QUOTE]
