Hi,
I have been type 1 for 4 years.
I count carbs and an due to get a pump in December.
I received a Libre last week to trial and found it brilliant. So easy to use and accurate.
The issue is that the patches are not funded on the NHS yet and they are expensive.
I have written to the Prime Minister and to Jeremy Hunt to make them aware and thought it would be good if all other users did the same.
 
The mere fact that they are trialling it within the NHS should send signals to you that the NHS are hoping it can be added to their armoury - although of course the trialist's results would need to support that view and frankly - 99.9 people out of every 100 (LOL) using it - all find it really useful and love it ! - so if the trial results don't show that - I'd know it was a lie.
 
It would indeed be great if the Libre became available on NHS.
It is very useful and has helped me to improve HbA1c.
