[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1757863, member: 185674"] Please offer some credit to Abbott where due. They even brought the Libre device to the UK market before any public funding for it was granted by the government. And despite the UK health authorities still do not consider the Libre good enough to control your bg level! (aka, you still need a separate bg meter to use for documenting your bg levels when driving a motor vehicle) It is the UK health authorities that have decided not to offer funding for the device to the full population in need. Take other European countries where everybody being diagnosed with diabetes (1, 2 or whatever number you may have) are being offered this device and sensors at no cost to the individual! And why is that? Well due to all the outstanding advantages you get by using a cgm, especially the increased better bg control, which ultimately result in your living a better long life with more days active (paying taxes to the state), avoiding/delaying expensive complications (costing less for the national healthsystems etc) etc etc etc. And when having such central approach on behalf of a full population, the state health authorities can cut exceptionally good price and delivery conditions with such companies. Making everybody a winner! Blame the folks that you have elected to rule and govern for you. Vote for the people that can and will help you to have a better life. Like when I moved to Belgium, the first 4 years I couldn't buy the Lantus glargine insulin I used to use for a few years already in France. But it surely wasn't the fault of Sanofi. [/QUOTE]
