The date for this being available is from November 1st and there are still a lot of processes to be put in place before anyone can get them on prescription. |

I hope Abbott are geared-up for the volume of sensors that will be required. |

Mentioned this to my DSN and when I told her the likely cost she laughed and said no chance, so if you are hoping to get one ,don't hold your breath |

At the Diabetes APPG meeting they had that lead to the decision, they did not neglect to mention the notorious postcode lottery issue. I really expect it to have the same barriers people have for getting things like insulin pumps, so definitely agree about not holding one's breath. Best wishes to anyone who asks. My local hospital decided to run some Libre device trials last year but they stopped doing that earlier this this year. Hopefully they'll change their tune back with this news. |

Many people won’t get it each sensor is around £60 you will only get it in certain circumstances... a scan of a libre is also not recognised by dvla as a pre driving glucose test.. I’ll get mine on nhs as I was going to get it independently funded anyway as I am a scaffolder that has no hypoglycaemic awareness |
