[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2038827, member: 374531"] The current RMOC guidelines for NHS England are that if there is a clinical need for testing more than 8 times a day, and it can be shown via meter history that this has been done for 3 months, they should prescribe, no ifs, no buts. I think some people have been deliberately upping testing to meet the above 8. Partha Kar, the NHS clinical lead for T1 says that the guidelines are to be regarded as a bare minimum and ccgs are free to loosen them. I suppose that might end up as a post-code lottery depending on how liberal particular ccgs are. But I think, depending on how your team think about it, if you were to express a strong interest in it, explain how you've been testing a lot as you're keen to learn how insulin and carb-counting works and say you think libre will help with that, then, you never know, get a kind DSN or consultant on the right day, you might be in with a shout for getting it on script, no harm in asking.
