[QUOTE="Mrs HJG, post: 2512584, member: 552087"] Hi there [USER=517557]@Microbe99[/USER] from my limited experience nothing happens immediately! Well not strictly true, I had a letter telling me I would have an appointment with a consultant in 'the future' but to let them know if it was no-longer required (!?!?:banghead:). It should mean that you will be accepted to get a Libre, if you do not already have one on prescription, and as you are on insulin already, then you may be suitable for more tech, but I don't know anything about that side, sorry. I had to go privately for an endocrinologist to confirm T1/LADA not T2, despite my positive antibody tests, otherwise I was going to have to wait 12 months+ to see one on the NHS; with the reclassifying and the consultant's request, I will get the Libre next month, (2 months after the appointment and 6 months in), but as I am well managed, basically not a priority. Hopefully wherever you are will take action sooner, but with the new diabetes guidance, if you are in the UK, I guess health trusts are swamped with new requests for all the tech as per NICE. I guess it depends on how well managed you are and your priorities and eagerness for tech on how you want to push it with your GP, (but mine will do nothing, I am now in theory under the hospital team). Hope this helps, but not sure if it will:) edited for typos [/QUOTE]
