[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1824177, member: 365308"] I do not get the libre but yet but feel I will eventually (supportive GP and diabetes team). As a type 1 it is highly likely I have cost the NHS more than I have put in through NI after 36 years on insulin, test strips, 2 pumps and 3 c sections and neo natal care plus 2 eye surgeries. This was all due to diabetes and I have to take some responsibility for any mis-management of my condition and continue to strive to find the best tools (like fsl) to help me improve my health. I sinceerely hope that I do not need to trouble the NHS too much in the coming years! I agree that the NHS needs more funding but it is not a zero sum game in which if you took all the money paid in bankers' bonuses etc. or taxed corporations or top earners more or took the money we spend on foreign aid away then you'd solve the problem (the usual populist solutions). We have to produce more wealth such that more people are employed and contributing. We also need to reduce illness and take public health measures to ensure healthier old age. I think the latter is what many on this forum are trying to do individually at least. [/QUOTE]
