[QUOTE="hh1, post: 2215317, member: 146541"] Thanks [USER=475037]@Marie 2[/USER], it's good to be reminded that there are good, upsides to having a pump, and I'm really pleased that it helped you so much. [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] Libre doesn't have to be approved/prescribed by a consultant, that depends on your CCG. Mine was prescribed by my GP. This bit from the NHS Flash Glucose Monitoring: National Arrangements for Funding of Relevant Diabetes Patients document says: [I]"11. In many areas people with type 1 diabetes have their care and treatment managed within secondary care. However, in some CCGs there are arrangements for type 1 diabetes to be managed in primary care. The setting in which consideration of whether a person satisfies the attached criteria is for local determination, but it may be desirable for this to take place in whichever setting these wider care management responsibilities are carried out for a given patient."
