Has anyone from the #T1 community not got access to CGM? - do let Partha make.
Also let's ask the community - how has CGM helped you and your diabetes management?
Is there ANYONE ANYWHERE in the land of @NHSEngland who has #T1Diabetes and yet to have access to #CGM?
Excluding those who choose regular finger pricking?
I want to know if anyone such exists
Coverage is now around 97%
6 yearrs ago? Standing start of 0%
Let me know #gbdoc
