You should take your own advice and widen your media sources.

Yes, you only get a continuous glucose monitor for free if you really need it on the NHS. If you want one otherwise you need to spend $100. It's not going to bankrupt you.

That’s the price for one monitor You need to buy a new monitor every 10-15 days. And your point about my media sources doesn’t make sense. As stated, I researched the coverage of continuous glucose monitoring because my friend got prescribed one.

The point isn’t that the UK NHS should cover CGM. I think they shouldn’t; it’s a waste of money unless you really need one. My point was about why the media pays so much attention to denials of coverage while you don’t hear about the over-coverage. You can’t go by the anecdotes. Talking about insurance covering unnecessary procedures doesn’t generate clicks.
