FreeStyle Libre 3 - Self funding UK

[Nilockz]

Hi all,

The FSL 3 was announced back in March 2022 and has been available for NHS Type 1 diabetics for a while. Does anyone know when it will launch in the UK for self funders?

Not available locally on the nhs for this t1!

You need to ask .Abbott

They won't tell you, but they're the only people who could.

Doesn’t seem it will, or they’d have surely done it by now.

It seems to be a mystery, in several ways.

A recent posting on this general message board titled "The Final Countdown" started with an observation about poor Libre 2 readings and (as can happen!) there was some digression (I certainly contributed) and about half-way in the thread discusses the non-availability of Libre 3 in UK other than on prescription from the NHS, under very restrained circumstances.

Libre 3 seems to be readily available in Germany.
