Is there a way to buy a supply of CGM devices for less than £98 a month?
The CGM has transformed management of my diabetes. My health is greatly improved and HbA1c is halved in 6 months.
But I can't afford to buy more and they are not available on script.
Anyone got a cheaper source than Abbott's?
Thanks
 
I've not found anything in the UK that's cheaper than direct from Abbotts's, it's really frustrating as I can't afford to self fund regularly, but like you my control is so much better when I have one

I’m also in the same boat but my nurse did mention that Abbott do have special offers at various times of the year where you can purchase 6 sensors for a reduced price ( That’s if you could afford the outlay and i also don’t know if this is actually true)
