Also DVLA Medical do not consider continuous data from the Libre, it has to be from fingerpricks, the libre can do fingerprick tests but some CCGS are very pedantic and obstructive as to what test strips they will allow to be prescribed. They are the Freestyle Optium strips, the libre meter can also do ketone tests with Freestyle Optium Ketone test strips which come in packs of 10 rather than 50, they are both foil wrapped so they do not need a tubs with dessicant linings, so the strips have a very long life compared with those in tubs which have to be discarded after a month. Freestyle Optium Ketone strips can only be prescribed for T1s, again I have asked.
But a Consultant or GP running satellite clinics knows how to override the CCG diktats and will assist you. I had to do this and I do use a libre for fingerpricks which I can easily do 7 times in a 10 hour working day of driving. Abbott do not talk of the Libre being able to do fingerpricks in any of their publucity blurb until you actually start to read the manual.
I actually list on my renewal forms (annually since I'm a vocational driver) the GP who runs the satellite clinic rather than my listed GP but rarely see him, he is the senior partner in the practise of 12+ doctors (2 GP clinic sites) and have only seen my listed doctor 4 or 5 times since I was diagnosed 20 years ago, 3 other doctors run the Diabetic clinics. I have not seen a hospital diabetic consultant in 4 years.
PM me if you ever need the code to change settings on either an InsuLinx or Libre meter.
