Health Service roll-out of diabetes type 1 testing monitors

Wed, 04 Nov 2020


The Island’s health service is to provide sensor systems to adults and children with type 1 diabetes. 

Freestyle Libre sensors will be available for adults who meet specific medical criteria based upon NHS England recommendations and will be identified by the specialist Diabetes team at Noble’s Hospital.

Freestyle Libre and Dexcom G6 will be available for children with type 1 diabetes until they transition to adult services, where they may be offered the Freestyle Libre sensors and monitors, subject to meeting the clinical criteria set by NHS England. 

At this time people with type 2 diabetes will not be eligible for sensor funding in line with criteria and recommendations from NHS England.
