Had my first HBA1C check since before Covid last month, had my diabetes review with the diabetic nurse at the doctor's surgery yesterday.
Was told to keep doing what I'm doing, as my control is great compared to before.
Mentioned that I'd been using the freestyle Libre 2 and the diabetic nurse was shocked that I pay for these.
She was unable to help with getting it prescribed as she was told this needs to be done by secondary care.
Partha Karr tells me on twitter this is categorically wrong.
Has anyone had any success with their GP prescribing the libre sensors without going through the hospital since the guidelines changed?
I have been referred to secondary care now, but in my experience this has usually been a long process.
My next HBA1C is looking like it'll be closer to 46, if the libre app isn't too far off, so the difference in control is amazing.
