[QUOTE="Ian_P, post: 1554500, member: 75058"] I'm having to self-fund the Dexcom at the moment - it works out at around £5 per day - no hypos at all and my HbA1c is 41. You may be able to get some funding from your CCG, but it's still far more difficult to achieve this than it should be. I think the NHS position on funding CGMs may change relatively soon, and the price will continue to come down as well with new innovations. Google and Dexcom are investing heavily to develop a more cost effective CGM at the moment. Do look into A&E nursing as well - I think you'd really enjoy it. I know paramedics who have come back into hospital work after being assaulted by drunks that they were simply trying to get into the ambulance. Best wishes, Ian [/QUOTE]
