Hi there, I have read about the free libre thing, what is this for? If for reading blood glucose levels how do we help ourselves once we know them? Is this to learn about what raises or lowers levels? Particular foods and level of exercise? Still learning lots.
 
Here is some information about it, @Jewiemax

It is a continuous glucose monitor. So rather than the ‘snapshot ‘ view with the finger stabbing method you can see what is happening to blood glucose levels at any time, without the finger stab.

You will not be able to get a free prescription on NHS, but you could apply for the free trial.
Many members have done just that, and have been given better insight into how their blood glucose levels fluctuate.
