[QUOTE="slip, post: 1561374, member: 182669"] I get that, sadly the CCGs works on big numbers, and have to take the 'average', they can't address everything for everyone where finance comes in. They will likely come up with an average number of strips used across all users, which obviously will be well below the 8/day NICE suggest........:mad: Lets call 8/day and also using a libre full time 'Gold Standard Level of Self Care'. Why are those not testing regularly doing just that? Some reasons might be the actual pricking, or the time taken doing a test, or the perceived non-ease of doing a test...........welcome to the Libre I say! Suddenly we've got more people on the gold standard level of self care, but also at a perceived higher cost to the NHS - but if NICE guidelines say 8/day then currently the NHS isn't following the guidelines and providing proper care........I know you can lead a horse to water and all that. Just thinking out loud :meh: If only the CCG/NHS could follow their own advice of 'good control now will reduce complications in the future' - spend a little bit now to save a fortune in the future!
