    Freestyle Libre invite

    Just got an invite to purchase Freestyle Libre. It's only been around 6 months since I subscribed and 4.5 months since I purchased a Dexcom. And now after 6 months, they say I have to make the purchase within 7 days! I think I'll tell them where they can stick their sensor.
