Hi all, went to my local Asda this morning to purchase a couple of sensors, to be told by the pharmacist that they were out off stock and he didn't know when he could get any more. He blamed the high numbers of sensors being prescribed by some Doctors/Consultants, who were prescribing as many as 24 sensors at a time for some patients ! He said Abbott had informed him that he had exceeded his monthly allocation and that he should consider stopping selling the sensors and just supply NHS prescriptions. When I told him that one would do to keep me going, he managed to "find" one in a drawer that he let me buy.
It looks like Abbott are having real problems maintaining the demand for these, who knows what will happen after April 1st although both my G.P. and Consultant believe that prescribing will tightened up rather than more people being allowed them on the NHS.
