Libre 3 is now on the drug tariff

[Bruce Stephens]

Apparently it's £42, so a bit higher than Libre 2's £35. I presume that'll limit how ICSs choose to offer it. (The list also includes Glucomen Day which I think is no longer available.)

Out of interest what does this actually mean as such? Will it be available on prescription soon or is that totally seperate?

As I understand it yes, it should start becoming available on prescription (subject to ICS adding it).

I presume there'll be pressure to keep most people on Libre 2 or Dexcom One, but Libre 3 might offer a useful slightly enhanced option that doesn't require funding via a hospital team.
