Spoke to my GP about prescribing Libre in November, unsurprisingly he didn't really know anything about it (he described it as a button thinky on my arm)! A quick look on the internet-super-highway found the attached, looks like it's a no go for the foreseeable. If only these people realized what a difference the Libre makes. I'm interested, has any CCG said they will prescribe?

I imagine most CCGs will be like yours - still considering it.

I fear that you may be right, and it may be some time before any decisions are made.:banghead:

Thanks for that Harrysdad, you've dashed my ignorant wishful thinking - that's the first OCCG document I've seen regarding the Libre, not that I was looking that hard - ignorance is bliss...........!?! :grumpy:
