[QUOTE="kkkk, post: 487608, member: 92533"] I am going to see if I can have some funding for it, I have been looking at my CGM graphs and I am pretty sure that my HBA1c will lower, and I am having less hypos with it. I am not sure how true it is but it has been suggested to me that I need to be on a pump too, so that I can prove that the pump doesn't resolve all my problems and the CGM is still of benefit….so I am waiting for that too. It is soooo hard because I know how much difference having CGM has meant to my control, but I've only had it a little over a month, and I am keen and all that - I am hoping to be able to demonstrate to my hospital and trust the difference it has made to my life at my next appointment and hopefully that will start carving the way for others too - I know when I went in to speak to the nurses they hadn't seen anyone on injections and a CGM, and told me how good my control was, had I been sorting stuff out as a result of CGM (absolutely - it is soooo much easier to see the patterns!). I know there are a few people out there on long term loans and with funding, mostly kids - or it is mostly their parents that talk about it :) - so it is possible, but I know they had to fight to get it, and you need your diabetes team on board and fighting for it with you. I think that will be my next step, but I am try to compile evidence from my data and bits, and might have to wait until I am on a pump before I get that far. [/QUOTE]
