[QUOTE="agwagw, post: 1621650, member: 415845"] Glad that some progress is happening on prescriptions, though so slow. I've been using libre since March and its made the world of difference to my BGs. My GP is happy for it to be prescribed but the local health board (W Wales) are dragging their feet with approvals, codes etc. I've just checked and it isn't listed on the BNF yet which won't be helping. Re costs - I used to do 10+ fingerpricks per day which works out at approx £45 per 14 days, not far off the Libre sensor cost (even using a strip once or twice a week to double check). The sensors can be activated with a smart phone so if the patient has one with a 'near field' gizmo it can save the NHS the cost of the device. Good idea someone posted earlier to check local pharmacies to see if anyone has been prescribed sensors - will be going to check later! [/QUOTE]
