I messaged my gp on Friday asking about the possibility of getting the libre on prescription. I take glimepiride and it can cause hypos. I explained I had been using a libre I got free and it warned me of hypos 3 times. The low sugars happened within an hour of being quite high so if I had been driving could have been disastrous but thanks to the libre I knew about it before I got the symptoms.
Anyway upshot is, the pharmacy delivery person came today with a libre freestyle and on checking my medical notes it has been added to my repeats list. I didn't really think I would be successful as I am aware they aren't usually available for type 2. Just shows it pays to ask.
