[QUOTE="AlexMBrennan, post: 612522, member: 82151"] Unlikely - CGMs don't, and this looks very similar (smaller sensor, and lower battery drain by having much shorter range thus requiring you to place the meter over the sensor). Abbot still gets paid regardless of whether you buy the device privately or the NHS pays for it, but obviously they stand to make a lot more money if the NHS pays for one for every diabetic (which would require their studies to show that the device massively reduces complications across the board) rather than by selling to the rich.
