[QUOTE="mytype1.life, post: 1626138, member: 431604"] Hello, I live in the U.K and am self funding the Libre. After my last review with my Diabetes Nurse she was amazed at my results and said if i continue as I have the last couple of months I'd have the best HbA1c I've had my whole diabetic life (23 years). I asked about funding and she advised me to write a letter to my consultant focusing on how much less I have to test my blood using test strips. If I'm honest I was overwhelmed by this and it epitomises the focus is about money and budget not improving health or the results the Libre can help provide. I wrote my letter and asked again at my next appointment. My nurse said it was unlikely and would possibly only be approved for people who test over 12 times a day (which I wasn't previously). I'm disheartened by this but I'm going to moan about it... I work full time and if I make a few sacrifices I'll be able to self-fund if I have to but this isn't the case for everyone. I pay £50 per sensor which lasts 2 weeks. [/QUOTE]
