Thanks for the contact info ringi
Firstly, over the last 18 months I have been told by my diabetes specialist and my diabetes consultant I would be near the top of the list for Libre as I am self funding and seeing reduced Hba1c, so far, nothing. Secondly, I find it very confusing about the criteria. What happens is someone says, you don’t need to test eight times, only six, so we don’t think you meet criteria?
I am going to talk to consultants once again, get an update and if no joy I will contact parthaskar
I believe the criteria is more along the lines of a reduction in use of blood glucose test strips by at least 8 a day using the libre, rather than you need to be testing 8 times a day. So if you only test 8 times a day, you may not be eligible as the chances of you not measuring at all each day is very low, considering the libre accuracy.
