[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1713902, member: 374531"] Here's how it turned out in NHS Lothian. Went along to a short course yesterday, and was given the attached letter to give to my gp recommending libre goes on my prescription, and a code to get 50 bg test strips per month from Abbott. No indications that this will have any knock on effect for normal strip allocation. Committee papers from the area Formulary had said that there was sparse clinical data about libre, but the consultant said that, although there was a bit of politics going on about pricing, at the end of the day it was a no brainer: he said they knew how difficult T1 can be to manage and if they were T1, they would want this to make it easier for themselves, so they were going to prescribe. So, there we have it, T1s in Lothian will get libre if they want it, no hoops to jump through, just need to agree to share data with the hospital, because, despite there being limited clinical data, consultants know it makes life easier.
