Who can get funded CGMs?

From 1 October 2024, funding for Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) will be available to certain individuals diagnosed with specific types of diabetes. Here are the eligibility requirements:

You must be diagnosed with one of the following:

  1. Type 1 diabetes

  2. Permanent neonatal diabetes (diabetes since birth)

  3. Some types of monogenic diabetes with insulin deficiency

  4. Type 3c diabetes, including insulin deficiency caused by pancreatectomy, cystic fibrosis, or pancreatitis

  5. Atypical inherited forms of diabetes

If you're unsure if your condition qualifies, your GP can assist in confirming your eligibility.

How to apply for funding:

Your GP will need to submit a special authority application on your behalf. This will require a GP appointment, which will be at your own cost.

You can contact our reception team to book an appointment or our nursing team for more information.
