Does anyone know if there are any new cgm developments happening soon. The sort of thing I am intrested in is cheaper devices or the nhs making them available. When Abbott asked why I did not take up their libre, one of the reply options available was "waiting for device to be available on nhs". I think they are seriously trying to get nhs approval. THANKS.

They're probably just 'testing the water' so they can go to the health minister (or somebody high up) with some justification. Of course it would be of great commercial advantage for Abbot to have GPs prescribing sensors willy nilly at £50 each.
