[QUOTE="Copernicus, post: 1652713, member: 377230"] Just had an update from my G.P. about funding the Libra on the NHS. To say I am annoyed and disappointed is an understatement Basically because I have been funding the Libra system myself and as a result of which my control is now almost perfect, the NHS will not fund the system for me because my diabetes is now well controlled so I don't qualify ! So the answer appears to be, don't try and be sensible and look after yourself, let your blood sugars go haywire and then after you have collapsed a few times, the NHS will then fund you the Libra. Of course once you are back under control, they will stop funding it,.so much for the government and Abbott Labs claiming it was now available on the NHS. Absolutely ridiculous. Needless to say I will once again be contacting The Prime Minister, the Health Secretary, my local M.P. and the media. [/QUOTE]
