[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 1502682, member: 12578"] As some members know, I live in France. This week I got home from 3 months in the UK ( we are preparing to move back and now have an apartment there) to find my diabetologist had phoned and asked me to collect a new prescription. Its for a Libre and 2 capteurs. She knows I have one but found it too expensive to use all the time. I haven't seen her yet but have found about it on the internet, since last month they can be prescribed and paid for by the health care authority at 100% [URL]https://www.federationdesdiabetiques.org/federation/actualites/le-freestyle-libre-sera-rembourse-a-partir-du-1er-juin-2017[/URL] They are available for T1 or T2, for adults or children aged more than 4 months who use 3+ injections a day or a pump and test 3+ times a day. They reimburse the cost of a reader and 26 capteurs a year.The manufacturer (Abbott) guarantees replacement for faulty readers or capteurs within three days. The first prescription must be by a specialist (diabetologist or paediatrician specialising in diabetes) The Regional health authority has to provide education in it's use There is a trial of 1-3months to make sure the person can use it and doesn't have reactions to it. [B]The device replaces prescriptions for testing strips[/B] but 100 a year will still be allowed. . So will put in my prescription and see how things go (but I'm already worried about keeping my pump when we eventually return to the UK, let alone a libre!) [/QUOTE]
