[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1468656, member: 374531"] Hi, maglil, good to see you're "sticking with it", so to speak! Abbott are actively pursuing getting it on the NHS. There's a post on their site from February indicating the state of play - application for NHS listing lodged and pending: [URL]https://freestylediabetes.co.uk/freestyle-thinking/post/FreeStyle-libre-NHS[/URL] It says that it's for people on insulin only, so akin to the current state of play with strips - T2s not on insulin will probably have to still buy or be very persuasive with their GP. There was a post a week or two back, can't remember the poster's name, who said it's just been approved in France, but a dodgy google translation of the government announcement he linked to suggested that in turn for getting it sub'd by their version of the NHS, test strips would be limited to an astonishingly low 100 strips per [I]year. [/I]Although there was also some stuff about exceptions for clinical need, but it still sounded a lot like, yeah, sure, we'll do you the libre if you want it, or strips, but not both. Obviously just applies to France, but it's interesting watching it to get some clues about how it might play out with the politicos here. [/QUOTE]
