Hi. New to this forum so forgive me if question already asked.
My 12yr old son has had type 1 for last 4 years and is very poorly managed. Swings from highs to lows on daily basis. Over 30+ finger pricks every day. We are looking to self fund the Dexcom G5 to assist him with everyday diabetes management and make it easier for us and him. We know what the initial outlay is but was wondering if we could get the sensors on the NHS. We currently use accuchek mobile cartridges at a rate of one cartridge every couple of days and there are 50 tests on each cartridge.
Advice of any sort would be appreciated.
