Has anybody in Essex got their sensors put on prescription?

Essex is a county covered by numerous CCGs. It's the relevant CCG that decides whether the libre is available on prescription. You need to look at which CCG you sit in and then find out their policy on the libre.

West Essex says no - https://westessexccg.nhs.uk/your-he...reestyle-libre-glucose-monitoring-system/file
