Hi, I am new to the forum after finding a few posts relating to what I am trying to find some information on.

Basically I have been diabetic (T2) for approx 8 years and at the end of last year started on insulin and was forced to go off sick.

Are there any safety critical railway workers out there that are allowed to use a CGM/Libre2. I have been given conflicing reports from Optima Health (our healthcare provider). First I could and now I can't and have to finger prick every 2 hours when I am allowed back to work.

Thanks in advance for any help.
