I am chomping at the bit to get one of these and I can't add it to my basket because the site has crashed!!!!!!!!!!
So you get two sensors included, what price are they to buy afterwards and are we any further forward with NICE recommending that they be available on prescription.
Just ordered mine, looking forward to getting a better understanding of my levels though out the day. should be very intersting! Just hope the sensor will last the full 14 days on my arm. I am off to thailand for hoilday in 2 weeks so the 2nd sensor will be used on hoilday thow it in at the deep end and see how it works out, will keep you updated with progress. Abbott Freestyle Libre users is facebook page just ask to join. they say on there that they belive the price on the website includes vat and you will get a form with product to clain vat back, i hope so?
Below is copy of my order that shows 20% vat added so i will need to claim this back by looks of this. gro hmrc as i ticked the box saying i was due vat relief so the price on the website are 20% more then we will actually pay. 1 xStarter Pack SPFSLUK£ 133.29 Shipping£ 9.00 Tax: 20 %£ 28.46 Total £ 170.75 Order date16.10.2014
I make it the sensors are costing us after vat relief £48.30 plus delivery unless you take thier subcription option then you get free delivery.
I've just had a look at the website - seems a good bit of kit but, as you need to replace the sensors once a fortnight, am I correct in thinking that, after the initial outlay, it will cost approx £120.00 per month ie £1,400.00 pa to use?
