[QUOTE="Bts, post: 2438851, member: 114231"] Hi - Freestyle Libre was suggested to me in January 21 and I finally got it last week! had to show 6 months of 9 x per day. and complete the modules and send certificates. During that time i had two of the most helpful tele consultations I have ever had with DNS Dietician and Consultant. One week (!!) of using the Libre 2 with iphone as sensor and its working well. Feel far more in control - readings between monitor and finger prick tests are not wildly different and I have appreciated the alarms for a low and an indication of direction of travel for a high. It has not fallen off yet!! I think approaching GP to avoid the wait may not help - at least in my PCT - as the monitor has to be applied for by the Trust (prescription via GP) and success and usage monitored by the Trust Diabetes Team - they have not really been interested in me before!!! Just a final point - I looked at experiences of this CGM on the forum and there are many negative posts about sensors not working falling off or being in accurate. However - these do appear to be very very old posts - and months - or even years on - maybe things have improved? Good luck and I hope you experience success - and fingers crossed for me too!!
