[QUOTE="Listlad, post: 2138774, member: 499223"] A few weeks ago I discovered a work colleague of mine has T1 diabetes. He explained he had that condition for a number of years. And that he had changed medication a number of times. I didn’t understand his predicament but for him it was something he hadn’t yet resolved. He also explained that he had quite severe neuropathy, something I could identify with as I had experienced it at lower levels. Then he told me that he was so tired of finger prick testing. I then asked him if he had heard of the Freestyle Libre and he said no. I explained to him what it was, did and how it was fitted. In the light of what he previously had said he could see a benefit there and as coincidence would have it, he had an appointment that afternoon with his GP. I suggested he ask about one. I did give him a printout of the NHS directive on the issuing of the Freestyle Libre but that was the following day. The following day he read the printout and could see for himself the point I was making but he told me that his GP had told him at their appointment the day before, that he would look into it for him. No more than that. This person lives in the Fylde region too, but his surgery is adjacent to mine and adjacent to [USER=460354]@Debandez[/USER] ’s surgery. I haven’t spoken to him for a few weeks as he hasn’t been into work, so I don’t know the outcome but it didn’t sound promising. I gave him the Diabetes.co.uk address as ironically he was a member of the other diabetes body. I explained that there might well be people on the Diabetes.co.uk forum that might help him with his medication issues. [B]Beginning of the End?[/B] So, on the topic of the Freestyle Libre, though on a slightly different note, it has been said that now the Libre is on the scene, that the opportunity for medical practioners to deny the benefits of LCHF solutions to their T2 patients will become much more difficult. This seems to make a lot of sense. If so, is this the beginning of the end of such occurrences? [/QUOTE]
