FREESTYLE LIBRE SYSTEM REIMBURSEMENT WILL ARRIVE ON THE 1ST NOVEMBER 2017.

We are very pleased to announce, subject to local health economy approval, the FreeStyle Libre system will be available for reimbursement via the NHS as of 1st November 2017.

We are working with local health authorities to ensure that eligible people with diabetes who inject insulin multiple times each day can start benefiting from the FreeStyle Libre system.

FOR MORE INFORMATION TALK TO YOUR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL AT YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT.



What does this announcement mean?

This announcement means that from the 1st November 2017, the FreeStyle Libre sensor is available on prescription via the NHS, subject to suitability. In the first instance, you should go and speak to the Health Care Professional who normally treats your diabetes to discuss suitability for you and availability in your area.

If you are given a prescription for the FreeStyle Libre sensor you will fulfil it in the same way as your other medications and supplies via a pharmacy from the 1st November, 2017.
