[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 2264575, member: 20373"] Thank you for this research article - I've only just quickly scanned but I feel that you absolutely identified the value of comprehensive CGM provision for Type 1 sufferers of all age groups. Sadly, it appears that the UK NHS was an early supporter of CGM devices in the 1980s/90s - but in those days hard to use and so the NHS decided to abandon adoption of this technology. So as of now very limited Libre application use (actually not true CGM) and even more restricted recommendation of the fantastic Dexcom G6 application. I personally fund my G6 - since adopting in August 2019 I have reduced my HbAc1 from 8.2% to 6.8% - on track for next 90 day for HbAc1 around 6.3%. My target is 5.5% on a strict low carb/carnivore diet. I'm on MDI. Something a bit dysfunctional on the NICE guidelines - appears easier to qualify for a pump than a CGM - but I don't see how anyone can properly calibrate a pump if you don't already have a CGM??
