[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1586543, member: 32394"] No one will have funding for a libre at the moment as it is not available on prescription until after 1 November 2017. You won't get funding from you local authority. The decision on NHS funding will be made by your Clinical commissioning group. Before they make any decision on funding the libre would have to be prescribed and then the CCG decides whether to fund the prescription. This is how it currently works for CGMs where a consultant endocrinologist decides a CGM is clinically necessary an individual funding request is made to the CCG for funding. It's very very rare for a not pregnant adult type 1 to get funding for a CGM unless they are hypo unaware (which means no driving licence) and having muliple severe hypos. It is likely that funding for the libre will be similarly restrictive, at least until the next financial year when it can actually be budgeted for. If Abbott are suggesting that purchases will be reimbursed after 1 Nov, I think that's wildly over optimistic. Input have some info on NHS funding for libre - [URL]http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk/cgm/libre/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
