[QUOTE="Strong Man, post: 1902237, member: 492726"] I have just been diagnosed with Type 1. I am testing at least 10 times a day in order to understand my condition and my body. I am negotiating with my local NHS trust about the cost v benefit of the Freestyle Libre v strips. I must say the NHS have been amazing over the last couple of weeks from my original ketone problem, my 111 HbA1c and now 7.8 average in my 2nd week. without regular testing this would not have been possible. As its an auto immune problem and not lifestyle caused I believe we all deserve as many strips as we believe necessary to manage the condition or access to at least a trial of the Freestyle Libre system.
