[QUOTE="ECDRUM, post: 1665627, member: 467306"] As many will be aware prescribing on the NHS is at the discretion of local health authorities. Many have decided not to allow GPs to prescribe sensors except for especially fragile diabetics. This leaves those who have taken an active interest in the management of their own health at a huge disadvantage. Furthermore it will ultimately cost the NHS much more as the benefits of close blood sugar control will be limited to those who can afford to pay for themselves and thus a potential reduction in the rate of complications will not be realised. If you agree with me that this is both short sighted and unjust please see and sign the e-petition on this subject (search the Govt e-petition website site for "Diabetic" and perhaps also write to your MP. My aim is to have this very useful technology made available to all type 1 diabetics across the country irrespective of their ability to pay the short term cost of approximately £1200 pa. [/QUOTE]
