[QUOTE="pinewood, post: 1561429, member: 147474"] I prefer, and will continue to use, the Dexcom G5. I suppose all we can hope for is that we will receive a contribution towards the cost of Dexcom equal to what the NHS would have spent on us for the Libre. In reality, I can't think how this would work practically and expect it is very unlikely that they would offer this. I doubt there is a new Libre system being developed that will offer the alarms; Abbott have built and advertised it solely as a "half-way-house" between finger pricking and CGM by calling it "flash glucose monitoring". I'd be interested to know how hard (if at all) Dexcom have been pushing to get their products on the NHS. It's clear that Abbott invested a lot of time and resources into securing NHS coverage; it seems like Dexcom couldn't care less. [/QUOTE]
