I had an appointment with my GP two days ago. She didn't know there was an upgrade to libre, didn't know if her ccg was permitting it to be prescribed, and checked on her computer to see if she could prescribe it. It wasn't there. She's going to talk with the surgery's dsn and find out what's happening.
According to what I have read the price (i.e. the price paid by the NHS to the manufacturer) of the Freestyle Libre 2 will be exactly the same as the Freestyle Libre 1. Therefore if you are already being prescribed the Freestyle Libre 1 on the NHS there is no reason whatsoever why you should not be moved onto the Freestyle Libre 2.
Hopefully your CCG won't do so, but if you are prescribed already the Freestyle Libre 1 on the NHS and you are told you cannot have the Freestyle Libre 2 I would recommend strongly that you consider complaining (if necessary, get Diabetes UK involved) and make your CCG justify their decision.
The Freestyle Libre 1 and the Freestyle Libre 2 are the same price!
CCG's are required by government to consider patients not only as patients but items on a balance sheet. This technology (specifically with Freestyle Libre 2, the ability to set high and low glucose alarms and make corrective treatment decisions) has the potential to minimise long term complications from diabetes, thereby saving the NHS money in the long run.
One doesn't need to be an accountant or have a PhD in astrophysics to realise the benefits of upgrading to Freestyle Libre 2 outweigh the costs to the NHS of having to deal further down the road with diabetic complications!
