[QUOTE="Billytrack, post: 1114447, member: 167763"] Thanks very much for the additional info Brendan; I'm swithering on whether or not to get it. If it's as good as you and everyone else says I might need to go out stealing to pay for it! £255 ish a month is a lot of dough to pay out, on top of Freestyle Libre costs etc. I need to think about it. I share your frustration with the NHS - I know they're doing their best and it's not easy, but sometimes you just want to tell them to stop wasting money on stuff they don't need, and focus on what is needed more. You feel like you have to fight hard to get what you need. In America, while they need to pay insurance etc they seem to get access to the best of kit when they need it, like Afrezza, or CGM's etc. We pay here, just not at the point of sale, so why shouldn't we get what we need? NICE has been reviewing Afrezza for YEARS. I mean seriously, how long can it take? Even if they approve it you've got no chance of getting it on the NHS, which is frustrating as in the medium term it would most likely SAVE them money! Rant over, sorry! [/QUOTE]
