Ahhh ok thank you

Good morning, I am self funding the libre and use my phone to scan as it has NFC, my husband has Libre Link Up to check up on me !!!! Is there any app I can download to print off reports so we can see long term what is happening? Thank you

Thank you Barry that's really handy to know

If I get accepted to have it on prescription I will ask my team if they can let me have one. My appointment is 12 Dec, if not I will ask for it for Christmas

What the libre reader? That would be fantastic if it did, thank you

Hi all, I'm self funding the Libre, on day 2 at the moment and have realised my ratios set into my Aviva expert are all wrong, however when I hopefully get accepted to have the Libre on prescription how will I know how much insulin to have? Is there a way of inputting carbs and ratios into the...

Wow that's a fantastic level. Do you have a copy of the NHS guidelines for self funding at all ?

I am wondering if being on 2 types of blood thinners would help with funding in accordance with the NHS guidelines, finger pricking 8+ times a day on blood thinners mean I produce aot of excess blood !!!

Using the libre isn't finger pricking though so I guess I'd have to do both ?

Could anyone please point me in the right direction of the NHS guidelines to qualify for the libre. As I am now self funding will this stop me meeting the guidelines? Sorry for so many questions x

My bs run high so I don't think I will hypo, my diabetes support is terrible, I've learnt more over the last few weeks on this forum than I have over the 36 years of having diabetes

Thank you
