[QUOTE="ECDRUM, post: 1699271, member: 467306"] I am apparently “too well” to be funded. The reason that I am well is that I have been self funding for 18 months and have reduced my HbA1c from 8.5 to 6.5 through aggressive monitoring and bolus adjustment. This results in 25 to 30 scans per day. If I did that with test strips it would cost twice the price of Freestyle. So the NHS is shooting itself in the foot. This technology( and other brands of CGM) are I believe the route to a major reduction in complications and it is being denied to all but the most fragile diabetics. If you self fund you risk being too well. Catch 22. [/QUOTE]
