Hello any update on the Freestyle Libre prescription carry on in Glasgow yet ? I have waited patiently to ask my specialist Doctor at QEUH Glasgow, but this morning I got a letter putting back my appointment for another 3 months. This kind of treatment really pisses me off. We are disjointed from these doctors and services as it is.

Hi Bud1979.
I am also in Glasgow, no one I know(type 1) has got a Libre prescription yet. As a type 2 all our meters have been changed & they have reduced amount of strips we can get.
It is a bit of a carry on & very unfair to make you wait another 3 months (grrrrrrrr)

Forth Valley/Falkirk/Stirling appear to prescribe them, I've seen a couple of pics of them on a Facebook group, UK users Freestyle Libre, it's mostly folk posting chemist prices but some posts are about NHS prescription....
