    Libre Sensor

    I never received an email, just a hazard bag to send mine back in. You'll know when they have it because you get a reacement fairly quick. They log it on their system when it arrives so you can call them up and they'll tell you. Hope this helps! :)

    Interesting device for needle phobics

    You can on the NHS ask for hospital needles on prescription that work by using touch/sound, You can't see the needle until you push it in and hear a click / feel it. Works wonders for me who is terrified of needles! (BD auto shield duo needles)

    How to qualify for libre?

    I am a very unstable diabetic who hates testing but when I used to be able to fund these everything worked amazingly! Do you know how to get these funded? Will be seeing my specialist in late January and want to go in with as much information as possible.
