200 strips at NHS prices works out at approx £60 or do you mean 200 strips at pharmacy price £100?The disc is so flat so its virtually impossible to knock off.
Wont be on prescription for a while. Sadly it will only be available online and we will have to pay for it until such time it gets approved on NHS.
I have a feeling that 2 discs are going to work out the same price as 200 strips which means the NHS may agree to them but i have no doubt that they will fund the meter.
I am DEFINATELY going to pay for mine until such time.

£25 per week doesnt sound so bad if someone earns a substantial salary but for those who dont, the price might be considered too expensive and would mean economising on other things
Found this on the Diabetes UK site
It seems to be a cross between both, I have the prices. It only reads when you scan it so it won't alert highs or lows like a CGM would. But you can scan it as much as you like, no calibration required. I think the reader is guaranteed for 2 years, sensors last 14 days.
Starter pack (reader plus two sensors) £133.29 + VAT
Then £48.29 + VAT per sensor
Having diabetes we have VAT exemption on medical items
