[QUOTE="nooneinparticular, post: 1317159, member: 321909"] I did get the sensors replaced that went wrong "eventually" (not the ones ripped off of course) Point being for the cost I was referring to earlier it took a lot of emails and massive delays as Abbott only answer ever 48 hours. Two weeks the first one took. I think if it was free to replace them from NHS perhaps many would just open another one and not bother to chase (communication is only by Email by the way) . Maybe a system of returning them to boots for a replacement would negate this downside and I am worrying about the NHS funding for nothing :) The two ripped off sensors did not even add up to a weeks use and perhaps I would have simply replaced them if they had been free, So whatever the cost of initial supply the replacement was a further 40% to 45% from 3 not working and 2 being ripped off without full use. A Small scale statistic I know but I only did it for my own benefit As for comparison my local surgery changed readers lately to all patients and said the benefit was they would only pay 2.09p for a pack of 50 test strips when everyone is on the same tester instead of their current 2,85p average across 12 different testers, saving the surgery £8,000 a month. No idea how many diabetics they have on the books. [/QUOTE]
