[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2329305, member: 503481"] Hello, Funding for a CGM really depends on your CCG area. Have you spoken to your consultant? I’d imagine your consultant would tell you to run slightly higher numbers (between 7-12mmol) for a short period of time, in order for your awareness to come back. For a pump, you’d need to do a carb counting course like DAFNE so you’re up to speed on things. CGM aren’t accurate either, depends on the person as well, accurate for some but not everyone. As others as mentioned, libre 2 is coming out soon, finally! I remember my nurse said people on libre 1 might get libre 2, because it’s being discontinued. [/QUOTE]
