[QUOTE="Alex1901, post: 2381320, member: 540506"] What is the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation Libre? I initially thought the 2nd generation was perhaps similar to the Dexcom where there is no need to manually scan or would provide a continuous real-time glucose readings automatically delivered to a person's smartphone, but I understand the Libre 3rd generation will only do that. The reason I ask is my MiaoMiao just broke again which is so frustrating, in my line of work the ability to have my sugar levels automatically picked up by my phone or watch is great - with the work I do its a pain to find phone take off gloves which can be covered in concrete to then wave it across my arm to find out what my sugars are, or at least take a note of the trend like could they be dropping. I understood the Libre3 is available in the US and Europe but there could be delays arriving to the UK due to new regs after leaving the EU. But from what I read it should be in the UK by second half of the year, I just dont know if it would become readily available for existing NHS Libre users. [/QUOTE]
