CGM

[elljaycee]

I am wondering if I should invest in a Libre cgm or similar because I have to get my weight down and must be missing something with my finger prick system.
Where is best to buy and will it work with my Nokia Android phone.
Replies appreciated as I am becoming overwhelmed with everything that's going on with my health atm.
Thank you.

Hi @elljaycee are you sure that your hba1c isn't falsely elevated due to your anaemia? You may have non diabetic bgs...

There are two main systems, libre and dexcom. Libre is a bit cheaper and is what I'd go for if it worked for me.
