We live in England. Can anyone with type 1 get the sensor ?

Yes. (I believe that's now the case, anyway.) There are now 7 areas (I think) where they're dragging their feet about Dexcom One, but I think Libre 2 should be available everywhere now. (Other sensors require a bit more of a case to be made, but Libre 2 should just involve a request to your GP.)

That's my interpretation of

anyway.

Regardless, I think the latest stat is that about 9/10 people with T1 are being prescribed some kind of Flash or CGM system (sometimes people like to distinguish between Libre 2 and the other CGMs, though the difference seems to me to be much less than the difference between finger prick testing and Libre 2).
