[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2468375, member: 517579"] I am using the free trial at the minute. They do ask if you're a diagnosed diabetic before they allow you to have one, so you'll need to think about that. It has not been plain sailing and I'm on my third sensor. The first one simply didn't function at all. Abbott replaced it. The second worked fine for a few days and chimed with my blood readings - then it decided I was permanently having a hypo - reading went into low threes and even twos. That lasted a day or two then it too failed. Also replaced. The third one has worked for ten days now but is reading persistently higher than my fingerprick - anything up to 1.5 higher - so fingerprick says 5.0, Libre says 6.5. It seems to be recording changes as it should, just consistently high. It is a great idea and if it worked as it's supposed to it would be superb. Based on my experience, I couldn't recommend anyone spending money on it. I do know many people have used them with no problem - I'm just not one of them. [/QUOTE]
