Funded CGMs coming soon …

Kia ora, exciting news for all our Type 1 diabetics! 

From the 1st of October, Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) will be funded.

If you are interested in a funded CGM, please come and see your GP to talk about which one is best for you. This may involve the usual GP fee.

Your GP will need to apply for ‘Special Authority’ funding. Please note your GP cannot apply for this funding before the 1st of October.

Once you have a Special Authority your GP will be able to write prescriptions for funded CGMs, which you will be able to collect from your usual pharmacy. You will need a new prescription every three months, but the Special Authority will last for 2 years.

In the meantime, you might like to have a look at this website for more details of which CGMs are available: Pharmac - Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)
