Hi you all,guys!
Just would like to ask someone of you,who you purchase Libre on your own. Where do you get it from and what’s the cheapest price? I am living in London and currently buying it via Amazon. My second sensor is very inaccurate and Abbot is refusing to take consideration if you are 3rd party customer. So have to find some better way. Straight from Abbott is not possible to get,now,only for existing customers.
Thanks a lot in advance for your tips!

I know that,thanks! I am wearing the faulty one for 6 days now,hoping that will be better.
Tomorrow I will give a try and call Abbott’s customer support,to see what they say.
 
Hello, you'll have to call around your local pharmacies to ask if they stock them and how much are they selling it for with VAT exemption. I know I use to buy them from ASDA pharmacy for £46 each which were at the time the best price.
 
I just gave a call to my nearest Asda Pharmacy and was talking with a very nice Lady. She said they do have Libre on stock even right now and they sell them for 46£! I bought them for 60£ before without guarantee! This info can be useful for others,too!! :)

Hi, have you asked your DSN or hospital consultant to get the Freestyle Libre, as you are Type 1, I got mine,but with a fight, at the end of June and I love it.

I’ve asked my nurse about that and she said I might get it funded in november. My nurse is so fantastic lady and really cares about me,I feel very lucky. Interesting thing is when I showed her the MiaoMiao transmitter and Spike app,she borrowed my phone to show it to the doctors. You’d think they know even more than you about Libre possibilities...
