[QUOTE="Wooly123, post: 2354694, member: 536221"] I moved to Scotland last March just before coronavirus hit and been struggling to get an appointment with a specialist as they don’t consider new referrals as urgent. I would really like to ask them if I can have a Libre on the NHS. I have wanted one for ages but haven’t had any support from diabetes specialist for over a year now due to this virus. Have just recently decided I really should push them for an appointment as I have a hiking trip coming up in April and have also started trying for a baby, but impossible to get through to my gp at the moment. So my question is... if I buy the Libre myself will my doctor be able to change my prescription and provide the Libre sensors on a monthly basis? Or is this something they only provide if you were prescribed the Libre by an NHS doctor? Has anyone else done this? [/QUOTE]
