[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2168829, member: 479176"] I am very lucky I was able to get my insurance company to pay 70% for the cost of the Freestyle Libre. So mine is a sensor. The specialist I saw got upset when I said the whole process was barbaric and medieval and designed to increase the wealth of the pharmaceutical companies and there shareholders. Unless you have a cheap source of test strips, the FL costs less than these if you test more than 12 - 15 times a day. To get good control of your bg I think it is essential to test before and at least 2 times after each meal, then before sleeping and first thing in the morning. That's 14 tests a day. Not good on the finger tips and cannot be good for peripheral neuropathy in the hands. Just my personal experience. [/QUOTE]
