[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1653195, member: 140811"] It depends on the circumstances of the individual and how many times one tests per day. As a T1 who drives, I might test 10 times a day, even more if I have to drive somewhere for work. 50 Glucomen test strips cost around £20 to £25. So over a month, the (self funded) cost of the Libre wouldn't be massively higher than the cost of strips for me were the NHS to fund it. Of course I still have to use test strips anyway to satisfy DVLA but I currently rely on the Libre for my meal time testing. [/QUOTE]
