[QUOTE="RogerRam, post: 1243354, member: 99143"] Hi, I'm toying with the idea of buying the Abbot Freestyle Libre system over here in France where we are retired. I've been type 1 for 51 years, on NovoRapid & Glargine & using an Accu-Chek Mobile to monitor blood-sugars. Low-carb diet also. I have a [I]carte vitale [/I]ALD that means I do not pay for insulin or the mobile cassettes, although I guess I would have to pay for the Freestyle stuff. My BS averages are within the normal range BUT but I do have fairly unpredictable changes depending on the weather (!) & the amount of heavy work I do. Although retired, we have a large garden & soil preparation can be hard work. Not had rain in weeks & using an SDS Max drill with a spade fitted to dig a hole in our rock-hard clay soil for a new apple tree! Rather concerned about unexpected hypos & having to correct them.... Would appreciate any thoughts, advice etc...I remember someone posting about using a CGM here in France but can't find their post. All the best, Roger [/QUOTE]
