[QUOTE="Bizzy-Bee, post: 1067179, member: 210625"] Hi [USER=216936]@Amy.W[/USER]. I had to pay for the Dexcom myself as couldn't get one on the nhs. I spent about £1700 for the transmitter, receiver and 6 months' worth of sensors. It is expensive but I feel it's been worth it as it beeps in the night if I got above or below the target I set. It means I wake up earlier with a hypo than I would naturally so don't feel as bad from a night hypo. Also helps control the highs as you can see when you're increasing rapidly. I know someone on the libre. It looked good and it's definitely cheaper but I think you have to scan it to get a reading so it would f be able to warn you of highs and lows when you're sleeping for example. [USER=203529]@Lozj82[/USER] - have you considered the omnipod? It's a wireless pump so you just wear the insulin on your body and no need for wires and trying to find somewhere to clip the insulin and monitor to. I just keep the monitor in my back and it all works wirelessly. Just a thought... The guilt with highs is crazy, isn't it. I had a night last week where I had messed up my insulin amount and the BG just kept increasing. I got so upset as all I could think about what the harm I was causing to my baby. I know it's irrational but I felt so guilty! I have my first scan next Monday! So exciting and terrifying at the same time! x [/QUOTE]
