West Yorkshire Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Implementation Plan Position Statement August 2024

The West Yorkshire Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Implementation Plan Position Statement provides a strategic update on our 5-year roll out plan for CGM (and hybrid closed loop (HCL). It aims to address concerns and refocus on the cost-effectiveness of this healthcare intervention, while ensuing a structured and controlled continuation of the technology rollout empowering people with diabetes and improving health outcomes. 

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is be available on the NHS to anyone with type 1 diabetes in West Yorkshire. Some people with type 2 diabetes may also be offered a CGM to help manage diabetes.

Children and young people will usually be offered CGM. 

You can view and download all continuous glucose monitoring-related information through the following link: Medicines information :: West Yorkshire Health & Care Partnership (wypartnership.co.uk)

West Yorkshire Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Pathway for Primary Care

This is a West Yorkshire CGM pathway for primary care - drawn up to support the implementation of CGM for those eligible with type 2 diabetes (and those with type 1 diabetes choosing to have their diabetes care and support provided through primary care rather than specialist diabetes teams in secondary care). Author of the pathway, Dr Waqas Tahir, WY ICS Diabetes Clinical Lead, said:
"This pathway aims to guide best practice by providing a consistent, evidence-based approach for clinicians. It consolidates essential guidance into a single document, supporting healthcare professionals in making informed, autonomous decisions when initiating eligible individuals on the technology. By following this pathway, clinicians can ensure that their actions are aligned with the highest standards of care, promoting safety, efficacy and patient-centred outcomes."

  • Minuteful Kidney: Digitally Enabled Home Testing for Microalbuminuria

    The Minuteful Kidney test – Healthy.io –solution consists of a uACR home testing kit delivered to patient’s registered home address by Healthy.io and used with a patient’s smartphone and a free downloadable application/app.  Patients with hypertension who would otherwise be required to attend a GP clinic for traditional uACR testing will be provided with a quick, easy, safe, and convenient alternative to ‘in clinic’ uACR tests.  This in turn will support practices to reduce the backlog of untested patients with hypertension whilst supporting individuals/patients who may otherwise be disengaged with their GP for traditional testing methods.
