[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1618027, member: 374531"] I pay no attention to politics, because they're all a bunch of untrustworthy ferrets, but I think behind the scenes, the high level people in the nhs are saying to the lower lower level guys, suck up the short term cost, because the main cost of diabetes is dealing with treatment for complications caused by being out of range, and these little gadgets help people stay in range, so you'll see the benefits in the long term. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. There's been a couple of posts recently where a few folk around Manchester have actually got libre on prescription! Their docs are maybe going to get put on the naughty step by their ccg for prescribing before it's been ccg approved, but there's going to be a quiet groundswell of people turning up at their gp/hospital, telling them, look how much better my results are, look how much more engaged I am with this, and docs will end up saying, yes, it's f***ing obvious that these are good things, why were we bothered about funding them?
