Hi just joined hi all. I'm type 2 my diabetes is very high 10.8. I had horrendous last year but I can see abit light of a very dark tunnel but my diabetes suffered because of this. So I asked my consultant about the libre 2 sensor but unfortunately the nhs dont fund type 2 so I have decided to fund it myself and I must say I'm very impressed and helped me. I have my bloods done next week and will see if my bloods have come down. I get mine from libre site at £48 for 14days. I was at my gp other day about something else but got talking about sensor and he told me that he was told boots do them for £35. So when I got home I rang them to enquire. And the lady said they do buy them in for £35 but sell them for £68 what a rip off how are they allowed to get away with this is beyond me. Something that helps diabetic and would perhaps put less strain on the nhs when complications arise. It all about making money out of the sick. But I will continue to fund for myself cant wait for my bloods to see if it helped me reduce my blood glucose..jane
