Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

[Is Vic There ?]

Hello . I have only this week started using Insulin and am wearing a Freestyle Libre 2 Plus which I had as a free sample. I have added a patch to keep it in place and had no problems so far. I do not qualify for it on prescription so need to buy one in readiness for when this one runs out. Where is the best place to obtain one from at a reasonable price please? Thank you.

Good Morning, As you can see this thread is primarily about the reliability of the Libre 2 Plus given they are around £50 for 15 days usage!. Perhaps it would be worth you trying the Dexcom product which is also available on a free trial. This would then enable you to determine which is better and of course I beleive the Dexcom retails around £35 .
My personal view based on my several years of experience is that they are very expensive and really over priced.
Are you sure you cannot get these on prescription ?
