If you go into the Freesyle Libre and its capabilities you will discover that it is really designed more for Type 1's rather than Type 2's. And remember it also includes a blood glucose meter because you cannot rely on it entirely and still need to prick yourself if in doubt.Wish we could get that in Canada. All I've been able to find is a few news articles about the Abbott Freestyle Libre. Health Canada won't even say if they are testing it yet. Is someone willing to ship one to me you can just bill Health Canada. I'm sure they wont' mind paying
Its nevertheless a great machine but you need to be able to afford the consumables that need to be replaced every 2 weeks. The tear on year costs are large. Also you still have a sensor that needs to go through your skin....Could lead to infection and irritation.
As a T2 you could be better off with something like the GlucoTrack which is truly non invasive and by far less costly.
