[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 934492, member: 30007"] The thing is, if you are testing at 10 times per day and you are adhering to the guidelines to replace lancets every time, then you are spending £1800 of the NHS's money annually if you are using AccuCheck Aviva test strips and the fastclix lancets (at NHS prices). A Libre costs (at retail, not NHS, prices) £1,290 per annum, and a Dexcom using xDrip without purchasing a receiver (or maybe the G5 with smartphone app) costs around £1,600 per year. If you are driving a lot then perhaps there needs to be some work with the NHS and DVLA to understand how the CGM model works, but the costs are not as prohibitive in relation to finger prick testing as everyone seems to think. By the way, I fall into the high volume of testing line to keep my bg levels on track. [/QUOTE]
