[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2027542, member: 503481"] I would like to add that I am very grateful for the NHS, however we don't know or some of us might know how much the UK is getting in terms of income, exports, imports etc. We only hear our NHS having their funding cut and other social services. As much as I love the libre and want everyone to have access to libres, we still need test strips in case of sensor failures and having to double check when we are unwell, hyper, hypos, all in all it doesn't replace finger pricking and sometimes the accuracy is off. I did experience a sensor failed on me and test strips came in handy, also when ASDA didn't have any in stock. I agree things like libres and pumps keeps us functioning, but I have seen some people who don't give a toss about their sensor readings and abusing the pump, when some of us generally need them and would like to have it as well. However, I want type 1 diabetes to have full access to insulin pumps or to at least have that choice, and we are always lagging behind Europe in terms of diabetes technology. [/QUOTE]
