Guy Hospital London totally ****. I test over 10 times a day I’m losing my hypeo awareness passed out a few times and say I can’t have it still. Sick of the NHS.
Same for Berkshire West, no-one gets them no matter what -I got my CCG to send me the details.I have the same issue down on the south coast. Bur Endo' showed me written instructions from the CCG so not really the hospital's fault.

It is frustrating isn't it?
However, hating the NHS is not the answer. If it was not for them, you would have to pay for your insulin and test strips and may not be alive today.
Libre is great but it does not stop you having hypos; it does not even alert you when you are having one: the Libre can tell you you WERE low, it can tell you when you WERE high, it can show you graphs for the last 8 hours (and more) but you have to scan it to get this information (unless you have purchased additional gadgets).
It is not great that you are losing hypo awareness and you have passed out. Can you work with your diabetes team to work out why this is happening and what you can do to avoid it in the future?
Things are changing - two years ago no one had NHS funded Libre, in April more of us should, 20 years ago no one had finger prick test meters but all of us with type 1 in the UK do now.
Change may not be happening as fast as we would like but it is happening.
The NHS are ****. They mess around with my dads health all his life and kill him by making him sicker. This was in Guys and St Thomas.
