[QUOTE="Copernicus, post: 1998142, member: 377230"] Yesterday I saw my Diabetic Consultant for my annual review. I asked him how the new guidlines for issuing the Libre on prescription would change and if I was likely to get it. Once again he said no because my diabetes was well in control with my HB1AC reading at 7.0 ie 50 mmol/mol and therefore I would not qualify. I asked him what the point of the new guidlines were and he said it was purely to bring all the CCG's into line and ensure that some areas who were issuing them willy nilly and others that were being very strict used the same criteria He went on to say that he thought it very unlikely that more diabetics would get them on the NHS. I pointed out to him that when I was buying my latest sensors from Asda, the pharmacist was astonished that I was having to pay for them and that just that very day she had handed out 5 to one customer and 7 to another, both on prescription. His response to that was " Well that's why new guidlines are being brought in." I'm not very optimistic that things will change much come April 1st. [/QUOTE]
