Living in the UK and have recently had to give up funding the libre. Does anyone know if they are coming to prescription or if funding is available? I am not testing much if at all without these as they are a brilliant idea.
 
Input has some info on the availability of a libre on prescription - http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk/cgm/libre/

Essentially, it won't be availible for anyone on prescription until after 1 November 2017. After that date availability will depend upon whether your CCG have added it to the formulary, and, if so, what eligibility criteria for prescription the CCG are expecting gps to apply - there are no national guidelines.
