[QUOTE="LaineyK, post: 1044132, member: 159329"] I'm on the libre now and I love it...I had to wait six months waiting list on Abbots website but they contacted me when it got to my turn, and now I can reorder up to 2 sensors at a time. The sensor is comfortable(I'm on my 3rd one now). The placing of the sensor looks scared, but it honestly doesn't hurt at all, and is easy to press the unit onto your arm to fix securely. Very well designed. I find I don't bother blood pricking anymore, but you should if you are going to drive to check you Ae above 6 mol. I find it's pretty close to my BG level of a finger prick, generally within 1 mmol. The waiting list is for the reader(starter kit) with 2 sensors, and this will set you back £140. It's £39 for reader, £49 for each sensors which lasts 2 weeks each. I hope it will be on nhs one day, as would save a lot of people going into hospital, especially young adults I reckon. My nurse reckons it's just a matter of time before it is. So here's hoping, as me anything else about it. I love it, had no rashes, no problem leaning on it in bed either, it's pretty sturdy :) [/QUOTE]
