If you are technical, you can use an alternative app such as xDrip to receive Dexcom data without the Dexcom app.
xDrip is compatible with more phones but it is not supported or official.

Yes, sort of. From https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/gid-ng10265/documents/draft-guideline

Offer adults with type 1 diabetes a choice of real-time continuous glucose monitoring or intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM, commonly referred to as ‘flash’) based on their individual preferences, needs, characteristics, and the functionality of the devices available. See box 1 for examples of factors to consider as part of this discussion. [2022]​

So I think it ought to dramatically increase rtCGM, but maybe it'll be flash for most of us? (And maybe Libre 3 will be out by the time this comes into effect anyway.)

Yes, looks rather similar to the current T1 advice. Which is a big step forward.

Thank you for the 'flash' explanation. I've not heard if it before 🙂

My only involvement was copy and paste, but the "intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring" phrase is a nice way of explaining it. It's not just (or even primarily) about avoiding finger pricking: it's about creating a 24x7 record of values (like a CGM does).
