All the small pharmacies attached to doctor's surgeries are branches of Lloyds around these parts so there is no option - I will be intrigued to know if your pharmacist can negotiate a good price with Abbott that competes with the big boys. I might test my local supermarkets and see if the pharmacies at Sainsbury or Tesco have any plans to supply the Libre - would be quite handy to be able to pick it up with the shopping!I saw on Facebook, that somebody challenged Abbott about the price of sensors to the NHS being around £30 and their spokesperson responded saying that there are currently no plans to lower the price to Joe Public. Great!I myself have also been thinking about the legal contract between Joe Public and the pharmacist. The first question I got asked when I phoned Abbot about a dud sensor was 'did you buy it through the Abbott website?"  So if a sensor that your local pharmacist has supplied turns out to be a dud, will Abbott replace it as they do now or will they tell you to take it back to the place you purchased it from? Might be worth asking.</blockquote>
