[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1694492, member: 372717"] The libre has a relatively low initial cost, so you could just buy a couple of sensors and see if they help. I believe that you can possibly get away without buying a scanner (which is about the same price as a sensor) if you download the right software to the right smartphone???? Be aware that the libre has accuracy issues for some people, though is a truly excellent device for most. [URL]https://www.freestylelibre.co.uk/libre/products.html[/URL] You should be able to avoid the vat if you tell them you're on insulin. The libre sensors last for 14 days each, so you're talking about an ongoing cost of about 25 pounds per week? (Hopefully some of the UK people will correct me if my figures are wrong.) But some of the UK T1s have succeeded in getting their doctors to prescribe the sensors. [/QUOTE]
