[QUOTE="Cap'n M, post: 2175606, member: 141117"] I've noticed recently difficulty in managing my levels, I think I'm producing less endogenous insulin. Sticks are imperfect - I decided to try FreeStyleLibre, self-funded if necessary. My GP surgery Rx Receptionist tells me that Wales NHS have not yet made up their mind on the issue [Typical!]. I was previously in Lambeth, no idea where they stand. I got my 1st Libre Sensor box from Lloyds/Waitrose for £52.50, inc VAT deduction.They had plenty in stock. It talks to my Galaxy S8, no problem. I've ordered another over Ebay.UK, for the same price, inc shipping. An independent Pharmacist, in town, seems to be offering a great deal on sensors. I shall explore this and report My first 24hrs on the Libre monitors has been brilliant - I am delighted. I see no future difficulty in managing my levels, more or less, within the 5.0 - 9.9 zone, thanks to this device. As regards availability, I have been using testing strips, up to £28 per month, NHS funded, to achieve deteriorating control. Not cheap. The NHS should "encourage" Abbott to reduce their prices and make sensors mainstream. [/QUOTE]
