[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2182150, member: 345386"] Hboyt - My knee jerk reaction would be that due to the nature of the health care system and prescribing practises in the UK v US, they'll be far less common in UK. In US, patients either pay or co-pay for their supplies, whereas for those living with diabetes in UK, provided they take medication, our supplies are free at the point of delivery. On that basis, the NHS significantly influences what is available. Of course, those who are using lifestyle changes to deal with their condition, they will sometimes invest in technology, but as our meds are not available over the counter the options available are more limited.
