I know that I'm too well controlled for my GP to even offer.I self funded when it first came out and was happy with it until I started having unpleasant skin reactions. I now self fund the Dexcom G6 at £40 a week. Luckily I can budget for this and feel it's a better way to spend my money than other things I can mention.I am grateful that my prescriptions are funded by the NHS, but wonder how many people currently have a Libre that could easily afford to pay for it themselves. While not wanting to start a whole debate on means testing, I see similar with bus passes for pensioner friends able to pay fares without hardship having one because it's allowed and never using it.</blockquote>
