[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 958706, member: 30007"] [USER=212070]@Flossy11[/USER] unless there are extenuating circumstances, the NHS typically will not fund CGM. There needs to be evidence of lack of Hypo awareness and a number of other issues for them to consider it as they haven't got the evidence to show the cost benefits pay off. The group T1-CGM on facebook is full of information on the topic and is worth a visit. Some of the pumps include CGM capabilities, but they mostly have to be self funded.
