Hi, Dexcom is clearly a great product. So good i am now concerned to its longetivity. I live in UK and have 3 questions i would be really grateful to those who can offer any help:

1) As mentioned, live in uk and receive sensors from a helpful but small distributor whom i heard on here is struggling. Would folding of this business mean no more CGM or could distributorship be given elsewhere.

2)Is CGM here to stay even for those on shots not pump. I read of new research to incorporate CGM technology further into pumps but not much about device on its own. Shots for me work better than pump which i trialled 2 years ago. Been type 1 30+ years and the Seven plus has literally been a life changer and possibly saver. Wouldnt want it all to end and go back to 30-50 finger prick tests a day.

Many Thanks

Chris
