[QUOTE="slip, post: 1621671, member: 182669"] The NHS doesn't pay the RRP that we as individuals pay; £35/sensor so on a cost case you'd be saving the NHS money (so long as you've based your strip cost on what the NHS pays for said strips - the NHS pay on average for a box of 50 is ~£15) however! Abbott state the Libre can't replace actual BG tests and not to bolus from it, plus DVLA require BG tests for driving. The reader itself is not on prescription, and like most BG meters would be given FOC - a double or half depending how you look at it, lose leader - if you have the reader you're more likely to 'buy' a sensor AND 'buy' test strips for it.
