[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2436605, member: 482479"] That sounds quite likely, when I changed hospitals they said for my first appointment I'd be there for a few hours and would see the consultant, dietitian and DSN, plus get bloods taken. At that same appointment I got asked if I wanted to try the libre but it was a couple of months before they got added to my prescription as the consultant needs to apply for funding for them. I think some hospitals will put people on a 6 month trial first and in that case maybe the wait isn't so long, I believe the sensors etc come directly from Abbott in that case, but I'm not sure. I will keep my fingers crossed for your mum as it sounds like she would benefit from having the libre with her arthritis etc, let us know how she gets on. [/QUOTE]
