IMPORTANT CHANGES TO YOUR PRESCRIPTION

The doctors in this practice are continually reviewing their prescribing to provide patients with appropriate, high quality and cost-effective medications for their conditions. We are keen to ensure that all our patients receive the best quality treatment whilst making the best use of NHS resources available to us.

We note from your records that you have been prescribed

Freestyle Libre 2 sensors

The Manufacturer has informed us they will soon no longer be making this device; therefore, we are required to change your prescription. Your next prescription will be for

Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors

These work in the same way as your previous device, except they have a 15-day wear time, so you should not notice any difference in their effectiveness. You should continue to use them as normal. For further information please see manufacturers website (https://pro.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/freestyle-portfolio/freestyle-libre-systems/fsl2-sensor-discontinuation.html).

Please finish your current device supply before ordering your new devices.

Yours sincerely,

Integrated Care Pharmacist
