[QUOTE="Tracey167, post: 633942, member: 23764"] Hi All I recentley transfered to a London hospital (charing cross) for my type 1 diabetes and i am seriously considering getting a CGM as i have lost all my awareness of hypos and my hubby had to pack up work due to my hypos being so erratic. [I] tried a insulin pump back in 2010 and had a bad time with it and could not get along with it, I feel that a CGM will help me and my hubby can then go back to work and i could possibly do a part time job as well. I have had 3 diabetic consultants tell me that i have a tight control of my sugar levels and they can't work out why my sugars keep dropping. My insulin ratio was 0.8 to 10g carbs and consultant told me to reduce it to 0.7 to 10g carbs which i done about a month ago but hypos are still happening so may have to reduce to 0.6 to 10g carbs i feel that this is a very small amount of insulin i have had type 1 now for over 30 years it seems my body is sensitive to insulin. Hospital mentioned about another insulin pump but i am not 100 per cent about having a pump i don't feel comfortable with this. But from what i have read a CGM would help and be a lot better. As far as i am aware the hospital fund CGM's . Does anyone have any advise on the procedure to getting a CGM? tracey167 [/I] [/QUOTE]
