Grrr
Yesterday, despite the agreement of my GP and diabetic specialist nurse I as refused a prescription for a Freestyle Libre.
NICE have approved it, but my CCG has not, so my surgery can't prescribe it.
I meet criteria for it as I am on other medications that affect my haemoglobin making my hbA1c somewhat erratic, making my need for close monitoring of my BG essential.
Anyone else in my CCG also faced this ?
Any advice? I can't afford to self fund.
