I think the postage is way too much. Royalmail would deliver for far less. I'm annoyed

Yes I'm really annoyed by the postage cost. But I'm impatient and wanted it anyway lol

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.

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?

 

[Hooked]

Crikey, the process are steep compared to previously quoted ones; or is that with VAT added?

 

[raregerry]

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.

What do you mean the subscription option?

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?

Roughly yes, but we don't pay VAT so it's actually £1120 a year
