Hi everyone!
For the past year/year and a half, I've been having pretty awful hypoglycemic unawareness. I've not been hospitalised, but I'm frequently falling into the low 2s with no warning whatsoever, including during the night.
I know that there is now increased access to Flash Glucose Monitoring through the Freestyle Libre, but my issue is that I need alarms to help me recognise a hypo, and the Libre doesn't do that. I see that the Dexcom does, but I've not been able to find out anything about its use in the UK.
Can a Dexcom be provided by the NHS? Has anyone had any experience of it?
Thanks!
