I cannot in any way afford this lifestyle but after some scary lows and a further diagnosis I did as the DSN suggested and got the starter pack.
I am so surprised at how painless it was. I know I've got to give it 24hrs to settle in (well I hope that's the case as at the minute it is wildly unhelpful)
I know there is hope that these will be NHS funded but wondered if anyone is already funded?
Ooooooh congratulations on the new gadget, @rorshach !
It's not available on the NHS (yet........!) but I gather from other posts on here that some DSNs have access to a free trial of a single sensor, after which the user has to buy the sensors themselves if they want to keep going with it.
