Dar,

That's not true. Any doctor can prescribe anything; they don't necessarily
have to be a specialist. That being said, you really do need to see an
endocrinologist. You need to find one to over-see your diabetes.

I doubt very much that the Libre promotion would give you a cheaper price
after the 14 days, if they even let you do the 14 days since you recently
were using the system. But again, you need to contact Libre and ask these
specific questions.

My doctor is doing something for the month of March.
Just learned this the other day.
What I was told if I want this, the only doctor who could purscribe it to me
is the doctor you are talking about.
I hope the spin will slow down.
It drives me crazy when you are told to go to one and they want you to go to
your doctor who wants you to go back to the other one.
I was thinking if I got started in March then the upgrade would be free to
me, or I would or might need to pay more in April.
I don't know, just what I was thinking anyway.
Because of being a first time patient.
I would be done with the insulin I am on at this time, and then would start
the new one to me.
