[QUOTE="not-so-lucky, post: 1635693, member: 357786"] I've asked my practice nurse for one (2 weeks ago so after the 1st Nov Opening line) and she said they're only available if you write a letter to the commisioning group of your local health authority and get a supporting letter from your consultant endocrinologist for personal funding as they're only allowing them on a 'case by case' basis - and even then; you're not guaranteed getting one. It makes no sense refusing to fund them as surely the cost savings on people being empowered by their trends and figures in an instant avoiding hypers and hypos and ultimately avoiding complications outweigh any costs. It's all red tape in my view. Bureaucracy at its best. [/QUOTE]
