[QUOTE="briansolar1, post: 2417843, member: 394458"] I am self funding the Dexcom G6 and wrote to my MSP, Member of the Scottish Parliament, about NHS funding. But the response back from the NHS was they won't fund Dexcom at the moment as the national criteria for NHS funding 'includes recurrent severe hypoglycemia requiring intervention of others, or impaired awareness of hypoglycemia'. I don't meet these criteria (thankfully) so I haven't made any progress. I had self funded the Freestyle Libre for a few months, but suffered a bad reaction to the sensors and eventually gave up. However I then found the Dexcom worked for me. I think I will keep asking periodically as there is a strong case for NHS funding given the benefits to me and the NHS of overall improved bs control and reduced chance of hypos. Brian [/QUOTE]
