Bronnie Minty has set up an online petition to publicly fund the Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System.
"This technology is amazing and has helped my daughter's blood glucose levels become easier to read, monitor and stabilise," she said.
Currently, the monitoring system can only be bought online for about $100.
However, the disposable sensors are costing Ms Minty about $200 every month.
She first came across the device after there was media coverage of British Prime Minister, Theresa May, wearing the sensor patch on her arm.
