[QUOTE="ackkers, post: 2026722, member: 503961"] Why "so-called"? The policy HAS changed to try to level the playing field and gradually expand free access. It feels like a trial period and given the amount of cost diabetics already place on the NHS and given the high cost of Libre sensors they surely won't be giving them away like confetti. I suspect to get the funding, you will firstly have to satisfy the necessary quota from the 10 criteria that were published recently AND secondly go through some personal effort with both your consultant and GP to get them in place. I satisfy 3 of the first 6 main criteria and have initiated discussions with my hospital consultant and GP. It seems that initially the prescriptions will have to come from the approval of the consultant and that if you have had the libre for some time, have self funded and are prepared to upload you data so that they can see how you have been progressing as well as demonstrate understanding of the libre via the Abbott Academy mini course and exam you should get them on prescription in due course.
