[QUOTE="Angusc, post: 2344050, member: 185212"] you should be able to get a proper CGM from your diabetic team as the sensor will probably cost a lot less than 1 trip to hospital i'd try for a Dexcom 6 or Medtronic guardian 3 as it can alert before low blood sugars. the Dexcom 6 can be shared with up to 10 followers which can alarm other peoples mobile phones for low and high's with it's app as 999 callout are very expensive and stay's in hospitals even more so so ask your diabetic team to cost up a bad year in hospital cost's to compare to a proper CGM, and use it to argue that the CGM are cheaper overall, as well fitting NHS guidelines a modern insulin pump with a insulin suspend function should stop Hypo's dead as I've not had a hypo for 8+ years since using a Medtronic 640g pump and the new 780g is better as it adjusts insulin dosage dependent on the CGM blood sugars reading's.
