Abbott Freestyle Libre discussion on BBC radio

[WHM]

Did anyone else catch the lady from Hereford area discussing her experience of the Libre along with a Diabetes UK staff member on BBC 5 live at around 11:30 pm last night?
At least it has reached the national media albeit fairly late at night.

I thought she described the Libre and its benefits well in a short slot and without a script. The presenter asked why blood testing wasn’t sufficient and I think she explained the shortcomings of single blood tests (ie no indication if glucose rising or falling with a single finger stick).
Here’s hoping it might help convince commissioners why it should be available on prescription.
