Already a Google search I did not like it costing money every week
Cost and How to Get It in Europe[https://diatribe]
FreeStyle Libre is available at online web-shops in seven European countries: UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. The touchscreen reader (one time cost) and each 14-day sensor cost €59.90 (~$77 US) – significantly cheaper than paying cash for traditional CGM although definitely more expensive than several strips a day (what is covered for many type 2 patients). Notably FreeStyle Libre does not require a prescription in the EU. Payment for the system is out-of-pocket right now, though Abbott is currently enrolling participants for two clinical trials that should help support reimbursement throughout Europe. Do you want one? If so, you need a friend with a credit card based in one of the countries that it’s available, plus their ability to access the Freestyle Libre website in that country – plus, the ability to pay for this fascinating technology.

The Libre isn't so much a groundbreaking change for me to be honest....a good education is better....good control still depends very much on dose and diet decisions....
