CGM

[Jane Goffin]

Hi has anyone out there got a spare Enlite Sensor please. Medtronic have let me down with my delivery and are telling me that they won't have stock before i go on holiday on Monday. I am driving to France and the DVLA have only let me have my licence back due to having the CGM. I am desperate of at least one sensor to be posted to me for receipt tomorrow. I will of course pay for any cost incurred and either replace or pay for the sensor. Thank you.

Hi Jane the DVLA state on their website sensors are not a replacement for finger pokes and can not be used instead of them. So I'm confused by your post.

I know that i have had diabetes for over 50 years and just feel more secure with the CGM and sensor.

Hi Jane, if you have access to Facebook, then the group 'Help! We forgot T1 Kit! UK' might be able to help. Hope you can get hold of one and enjoy your holiday! 🙂

Just because you feel more safe and secure doesn't mean it's a DVLA requirement does it?

Have you tried contacting your local rep to see if s/he can help you out?

Good idea thank you.

There's also a FB group for parents 'Parents of Children with Type 1 diabetes in the UK' - I think quite a few parents have them for their children so you might find someone willing to help there if no luck on the other group 🙂

I too have had T1 for more than 50yrs & have been to Asia on my Motorbike, 11 different countries. No CGM. You can get a Libre within a couple of days but as other have said what's wrong with a normal tester. You try doing Asia on a Motorbike. 4000miles in 10 days. Have a nice hol 🙂
