Petition to make the Freestyle Libre available through the NHS

Guys, please do not sign this petition, or any others at the moment. One for CGMs has already reached the 10,000 signatures and the government has responded, so another one is not going to make any difference. The details are here:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107435

There have also been others:

https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/75890
https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/57330

And INPUT advise against using petitions as they can affect the outcome in the wrong way. Until NICE evaluates the technology, it will not be available on the NHS.
 
Done and also promoted on facebook. I would love it for myself. I go through one box of test strips a week and my fingers are so calloused after 10 years of this...
 
Hi guys I have a libre. It's good in someways. My feedback would be great to reduce testing, great for a review of your day to day. Bad have to still test for Devine and the monitor is 15 minutes behind due to different blood supply so you still have to test. I have to test up to 12 a day and more when exercising. The libre is really unhelpful for exercising too because of the quick change in blood. Also my monitor has only worked when using what I think is superglue (tac skin) to keep it on. It tends to be either stays on or not. I'm basically saying it can be good but to be mindful it's not a complete answer like most things I guess.
