Many of the health boards, or whatever they are called in your area, simply place ridiculous restrictions on the Libre and for many it is not made available to them.In my health board area they are giving out 12 per month. I have no idea how many diabetics are living in my area but given the population covers approx 750 000 people, I would imagine that approx 750 people will be type 1. Now if they are giving out 144 per year, it would take 5 years just to cover the current diabetic people. How many more will be diagnosed in next 5 years who will then need Libre</blockquote>
