Hi!
I was diagnosed with Type 1 back in January, and I still have this fear of testing my Blood Glucose in public (injecting I feel fine with - weirdly).
I've seen a lot of people on instagram who use either Dexcom sensors or Freestyle Libre, which allow you to monitor and track your blood glucose through the day with a little sensor on your arm (I believe that's how it works).
I'm considering getting one of these, but they're a lot of money and not available on the NHS.
Is there anyone on here that uses either of them? Could anyone recommend one over the other?
THANKS
