[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2019941, member: 372717"] An issue is that they're not restricted to prescription. Although they can be prescribed, plenty of UK diabetics (T1 and T2) self fund. If I had lived in the UK when I became allergic to the libre, I might well have been tempted to onsell my now useless self funded sensors. Plus Abbott's supply shortage has made it very difficult for some self funders to get sensors at all. (And up to now, the criteria for funding has been entirely arbitrary, more of a postcode lottery than a judgement of clinical need). So it may hard to prove that someone is on selling their prescription sensors - at least if they are careful. But I agree, hard to think that any doctor wouldn't realise that 24 sensors is overkill. Something very strange going on if that story is true. (Parent with triplet T1 children???? :)) [/QUOTE]
