[QUOTE="Shecat, post: 2210701, member: 136170"] I received a free scanner from Abbots yesterday though I don’t know why as I did not order one, I need to purchase the sensors which go into my arm, sit there for 14 days and allow me to scan my blood sugar level rather than have to prick my finger. I am very drawn to this system being a Type 1 Diabetic, I on average prick my finger 140+ times every 14 days whereas this sensor is one prick into my arm for 14 days unlimited readings. My main question is I went to buy sensors, they cost £47 each after VAT exemption, each! I bought one thinking there would be 2 in the box so this seems pretty expensive. I did see on the website that apparently I can claim a reimbursement from the NHS for the sensors. Has anyone ever done this and what do I do? Thank you in advance xx [/QUOTE]
