Do we have any Lapl/ppl license holders on this forum? Before the start of the pandemic I was 3 lessons into my training. For obvious reasons things have been put on hold. When I started the training my plan was to take it slow, 1 lesson every 2 weeks so that I could get a good record on my blood glucose meter ready for the medical.
Anyway, on the 7th of January I moved from injections to the 780G pump with Medtronics CGM. The sensor only requires 2 blood glucose calibration tests per day, so at a minimum I’m doing 2 meter tests per day. My question is are you able to use your CGM as proof of control for the medical or do you still need the minimum 3 blood tests per day on a meter?
My plan on moving forward is to use the rest of the lockdown to make sure I have a near perfect log so that I can go straight in for my medical before spending anymore cash on lessons. If the CGM results are accepted I’ll have a good 5/6month of really good readings recorded. If not I’ll have to up my game & make sure I continuously have at least 3 meter readings per day at the ready!
Any help from any type 1 that’s been through the process would be great. Thanks
