[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2122766, member: 479176"] In Canada I got my first Libre without a prescription and then the same pharmacy gave me the form for completion by my doctor to convince my health insurance company that they should cover the cost (70%) because 10+ strip tests a day with them paying the strip costs is less than the Libre cost. As others have said the benefits of the Libre are priceless. I am still trying to figure out a breakfast that doesn't sometimes put me over a reading of 8.5. Sometimes I get get high dawn phenomenon perhaps caused by higher carbs the previous day and a breakfast of only 2 gms of carbs will put me outside my range. I find the range settings (I have 5.0 to 8.5) very useful as a measure of my success and the downloaded information gives me an estimate of my A1c so I can track my progress without having to wait 3 months. It may take a few weeks (3 or 4 sensors) but you will be able to get good information on how you can control your condition. [/QUOTE]
