[QUOTE="Ushthetaff, post: 2185348, member: 429002"] I am a little confused by the criteria thing from the governing bodies point of view. You have to be checking bs so many times number anything between 8-12 anyways , if your finger pricking 10 times a day your control is probably going to be not bad whereas if you not your control is going to be let’s say worse. Poor control is a HUUUUUUUUUUUGGGEEEEWW drain on NHS resources so we are told, surely common sense ( yep that phrase that seems to evade people when they get to the upper echelons ) would say people with poor control should get it. I’m of the thinking like probably most of us here that it’s technology which makes our life easier , in the long term it will help with control , resulting in “ less strain” on NHS I do believe that it will be available to everyone in Britain ,I remember when I had to buy disposable syringes as they were classed as a luxury , now we get daily Needles on prescription . Let’s hope common sense does prevail As a side note if this is all about budget there must be some offset between better control less use of blood sticks so I would imagine in the end it would probably end up cheaper. I am lucky I live in Scotland ( yes I know so lucky it’s beautiful) and my health authority provides the Libre on prescription. I had poor control, don’t test blood regular , I was never asked or told about criteria and after Libre I test blood att least 12 times a day and my control is now excellent , speculate to accumulate they say, well it worked with me [/QUOTE]
