[QUOTE="logindetails, post: 672938, member: 83701"] [USER=138086]@rubold[/USER] The major cost savings would come in the future from the NHS having to treat less cases of diabetic complications due to Libre users having better control over their blood sugars. The cost of treating diabetic complications brought on by poor blood sugar control is around [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/cost-of-diabetes.html']3 to 4 times the cost of prescribing diabetes medication[/URL]. The powers that be need to recognise this and make the Libre available on the NHS as soon as possible, unfortunately I think they work under the [I][B]'never mind if it'll save me £10 tomorrow it's going to cost me £5 today'[/B][/I] philosophy. However I do think that [URL='https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/freestyle-libre-on-the-nhs']the petition[/URL] is badly worded - it sounds like we are asking for it just to save our fingers from a bit of pricking.
