Are you saying that you have a prescription for the FreeStyle Libre but there is an inadequate supply? In Buckinghamshire there doesn't seem to be any problem at all, is this a problem locally to you? Do other Libre users have a problem with supply?Edit: Just be mooching around the Facebook pages for some of the FS Libre groups and there is no mention of shortages. My local Boots gets them directly from Abbott and they arrive the next day, that doesn't sound like a problem at the Abbott end. Who supplies your pharmacy, I've heard of middle men stockpile different pharmaceutical items to reduce supply and increase the price.Edit: Apologies for yet another thing. I very much have a bee in my bonnet about the way the price of these sensors varies even within the same company, for example Boots seems to charge different prices in different parts of the UK. From what you're saying supply seems to differ as well. Just out of interest, where abouts do you live.</blockquote>
