Following release of this guidance, the Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have been working with Diabetes Specialist Teams to put in an appropriate pathway to make sure that eligible patients have access to the glucose monitoring device.Whilst the National media reported that Flash Glucose Monitoring systems would be available from the 1st April 19 it is the intention of the CCG to offer access to this provision from the 1st May as the guidelines and funding arrangements were published later than expected.
