[QUOTE="Diabeticliberty, post: 1628271"] I am extremely interested in your comment. Please explain how it will save money? How much will it save? Who will it save money for? There are reckoned to be 400,000 type 1 diabetics in Britain and upward of 4,000,000 type 2's. How shall we decide who will get it on prescription and who will not? Every other diabetic in Britain is or should be as entitled to Libre as I am. Shall we then put upwards of 5,000,000 diabetics on prescription at a cost to the NHS of upwards of £70.00 per patient per month? 5,000,000 x 70 x 12 equals a bankrupt NHS. The NHS can barely stand up on its current financial commitments. Maybe some of the shareholders at Abbott can sub the NHS until pay day :) [/QUOTE]
