[QUOTE="chaste, post: 1628831, member: 453008"] Hello all Surrey checking back in with bad news; I posted earlier to say that my GP had agreed to a prescription as the local clinical commissioning group had OK'd things and that then I was having trouble getting hold of a physical prescription.... Turns out the GP was jumping the gun and that it hadn't actually been approved in my area so no NHS scripts for me :-( GP then went on to say that once it does become available (?!?) I would need to get the first prescription from the hospital (who manage my diabetes) anyway! Now, as the hospital is in a different geographical area to my GP Surgery, getting hold of NHS sensors now seems more unlikely than ever. Only small plus here is that my pharmacy did get some sensors in and can match the Abbot website prices if I buy from them. Hopefully the barriers will get broken eventually if enough folk keep pushing and asking questions; It's a shambles so far, typical give with one hand while taking away with the other. [/QUOTE]
