In an ideal world it would be nice to see CGMs available for ALL diabetics as a matter of course.

However they are expensive and someone has to pay for them. hence I think they should be available to people who have a “good” reason for needing them, ie the Pregnant, the newly diagnosed and people who are find it difficult to control.

but certainly being on a pump, should NOT be a prerequisite, and indeed I suspect that some people not on pumps (even thouse not on insulin) may have more need of them, not to avoid hypos but to try and get diabetes under-control and diagnosed correctly to avoid the complications.

We are of course talking ideals here not reality.
