If Type 1 these are provided on the NHS, I am Type 2 insulin dependant and therefore I believe I have the same needs, particularly as twice now paramedics have been called as I had a hypo. Is there any way I can obtain one on the NHS? If not, is there a lobby group fighting the cause?

Last month, NICE published new guidelines on CGMs. This now covers people with type 2 treated with insulin.
There was a thread about this with links to the guidelines which should provide what you need, @PeterV, without the need for lobbying

The chances (for Libre, at least) are much higher than they used to be (75% now) and still increasing. I think there's still a few CCGs that are still resisting.
