[QUOTE="DavidDK, post: 2508174, member: 328407"] Hi Jaylee. Thank you for your earlier replies. Once again, please do forgive me but unless I have gone completely doolally (which is always possible), Professor Partha Kar, who is the NHS England co-lead on diabetes technology confirmed at the end of March that some of us - IF we meet the new NICE criteria effective from 1 April 2022 - may be eligible to have a real time CGM (which includes, but is not limited to, the Libre 3). Professor Kar indicated that the new changes would take time to feed through the system, but T1s (and T2s) who believe they might meet the new criteria should discuss the matter the next time they have an appointment with their diabetes consultant. Anyone who is given a CGM proper following a meeting with their consultant, that CGM will be paid for out of the hospital trust budget and not the CCG budget. I see a hospital diabetic consultant and they look after my diabetes needs, so I will have the conversation with that person, not my GP. Yes, apparently at present in Europe, Abbott do distribute the Libre 3 (and I believe the Libre 1 and Libre 2) out of their German distribution hub (despite the fact that the libre was invented in the UK), but that should have no bearing on the availability of the Libre 3 in England if a patient is eligible according to the NICE criteria. I am not saying every T1 (or T2) will be eligible for a CGM. We won't. But my understanding from what I have read by the gentleman who got NICE to change their criteria is that we should at least be having a conversation with our diabetic consultants at our next appointments concerning eligibility (and preferences if eligible), as the consultant is the only person who can authorise use of a CGM (if eligible). For the time being, GPs won't be able to prescribe the Libre 3. Professor Kar also indicated that following the new NICE criteria, those T1s (and T2s) who aren't currently using either a flash glucose monitor nor a continuous glucose monitor may want to consider with their attending diabetic clinicians whether they would benefit from having a flash glucose monitor.
