Nhs funding for continuous glucose monitoring systems
Has anyone been successful in getting a continuous glucose monitoring system funded by the NHS?
I recently bought my 12 year old daughter a Dexcom 7 plus CGM to help us make sense of her blood sugars. What I find unfair is the postcode lottery where some hospitals will fund sensors while others do not. We are having to self fund. Any tips on how to get them funded would be much appreciated.

I agree AC - but as you said we have to make an argument for CGM from a cost side. 1 being day to day. 2 being long term
