[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1726454, member: 345386"] Have you considered asking your diabetes clinic they have a reader you could have? They sometimes have them for trial sensore they sometimes give to patient. In terms of your query, if you borrow someone else's reader, your daughter's data would be added to theirs, which could take a bit of explaining if their team looked at it in the future. It is also possible to scan the Libre using certain Android phones, but I have no clue if more than one phone can be linked to any given sensor, as I'm more of an Apple girl myself. Have you given any thought about any additional training the staff members would need to use the Libre, bearing in mind you've never used one before and you say they already looked daunted by the finger prick testing? Using a Libre doesn't negate the need for finger prick testing, and shouldn't be used for bolus calculations and the like. Does you daughter routinely do her own finger prick testing herself? Sorry if I'm not sounding overly supportive of your thoughts, but just offering feedback I hope might be helpful in some way. [/QUOTE]
