[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1591498, member: 380756"] My understanding of the Libre model released in the US is that it does not require "calibration". I'm sure it doesn't eliminate the use of test strips of course. IMO if your NHS "approves" its use I doubt close to half if T1D's would even mess with it. I can afford it and haven't seen a need for it myself. As for the price I'm sure Abbott could sell to the public for the same price as your NHS has negotiated, but that's not what the evil drug companies do. The charge as much as the market will bear, especially for something with little competition and which is probably regarded as a "luxury" ancillary item for diabetics. My stock in Abbott has done very well by the way, NovoNordisc too! [/QUOTE]
