[QUOTE="sgm14, post: 2492591, member: 517358"] I don't have any insight into the internal decisions made by the NHS, but one possibility may simply be, that this is temporary and is related to bureaucracy and tenders and contracts. For example a search for NHS Glucose Monitoring tenders thows up [URL='https://www.supplychain.nhs.uk/product-information/contract-launch-brief/insulin-pumps-and-associated-products/?utm_source=insulin-pumps-and-associated-products-insulin-pumps-continuous-glucose-monitoring-cgm-and-associated-consumables&utm_medium=Web&utm_campaign=Search']this [/URL]link which talks about CGMs. Now the Libre2 is not normally consider a CGM and hence may not covered by that tender. So it also possible that the NHS have a tender to cover insulin pumps and related accessories which is separate from the tender that covers flash monitoring devices (I am thinking that CGM's may, in general, be more expensive than Flash monitoring, hence it makes sense to separate them). So, they must have an existing contract with Abbott to supply sensors and that contract may actually specify that the sensors should be Libre 2s and hence it can not be changed to Libre 3s until the contract has expired and the tender renewed. (The contract in the link is for two years, so it is possible they Libre2 contract is also for two years, which means there is probably another year to go) Of course, all this is total speculation on my part.
