[QUOTE="cool_blonde212003, post: 1800536, member: 144366"] I ordered 2 from Superdrug last Thursday evening I paid for them when I ordered and am waiting for them to arrive - the pharmacist said they will call me but they should be here by Wednesday. Saw my Consultant last week and even though London NW Trusts have agreed to prescribing of libre they have stipulated guidelines, one which I definitely meet is that by using libre strip usage will be reduced by 8 per day. Would you believe it that because I have been self funding libre my strip usage has gone down but my Consultant told me they still have to refer to CCG before they can issue libre on prescription?!? And, that the evidence has to be from the past 3 months. I feel like I have shot myself in the foot by self funding . So I am now using libre purely for myself and strip testing for hospital purposes . He is putting in an IFA for dexcom because I meet NICE guidelines on a number of points but it was only after he spoke to my DSN that he agreed to do it and he said it might be rejected so I won’t hold my breath as I don’t get the feeling he will put up much of a fight for me. I hope I am wrong [/QUOTE]
