Is it simple enough to use your phone with the sensors?
Do they read in mmol? Might be worth a day tripHere in France they are only 35 euro's used to be 50 euros but then a lot more people have them in France 100% free on the health system
Afraid not Mgdl at the moment, but the meter used to just be in French but now it is in French and englishDo they read in mmol? Might be worth a day trip
Have you tried any independent or smaller chemists. Often get a better price thereIt turn out Asda will order them in for me at a cost of £57.99
Ask them for a VAT exemption form - you are allowed to get it VAT free as long as you are diagnosed as diabetic (I had to fill in one every time I got mine from Asda)It turn out Asda will order them in for me at a cost of £57.99
The Freestyle Libre website has full information about your mobile phone suitability. You may also call their helpline to confirmYou can get the sensors from a couple of places, I used to buy mine from my local Asda pharmacy (I think Superdrug is the other place), the reader I don't think you can buy over the counter, but if your mobile phone has NFC then you should be able to use it to scan the sensors (note there may be some that it just doesn't work on - but I cam't find the link for the information)
A very good reminder for all diabetics purchasing medical aids privately to save 20% on the price.Don’t forget as a diabetic you should be getting them vat free. May have to sign a declaration though.

Usually I have to show my NHS medical exemption card and fill out a form to get VAT off when purchasing sensors over the counter. By the way your profile says you're type 2.How do we go about saving the VAT
I am apparently ellilegable despite being a type 1 for over 18 months...however I have managed to buy my very own first sensor today at a cost £57.95 ...the sensor only lasts 2 week max until I purchase the next one.
It's a struggle to purchase libre / abbot claim limited stock (since June 2019) ....but managed to find one after months of trying everywhere from my local Tesco pharmacy.
Really disappointed as to why I have to struggle to find this and even more why the NHS discriminates against me because I dutifully like so many pay taxes and never claimed benefits......even the diabetes specialists at my hospital are at a loss.
NHS has yet again failed the taxpayer .....it needs scrapping and privatising.....currently for me that is the case...I pay through nose and get nothing in return.
God sake I only have a chronic condition.
