[QUOTE="ArtemisBow, post: 2752972, member: 115728"] I do understand your frustration, I’ve had the same reduction to 50 strips a month since the NHS started covering my Libre (I self funded Libre for some time before). Most of the time, I only test a couple of times when I have a new sensor on to check it’s reading ok. The problem is, every couple of months I have a duff sensor. Which Abbott replace, but if I have a couple of duff ones together, I may not have one available at all for a few days or just use more test strips in checking the duff ones, and it’s easy to burn through the pack. I had the watch and loved it, but unfortunately when I moved to Omnipod5 a few months ago I lost that functionality (sensor can only talk to pod, not anything else), so now I am back to having to check the PDM to see where I am - two steps forward, one step back!
