[QUOTE="Idan6a, post: 691365, member: 143929"] Hi everyone, I've been following this thread for a while, came across it when looking info on the Libre. the people here are like a treasure of knowledge! let me tell you a bit about my self and the Libre experience, I'm 30 yeas old having diabetes for 19 years now, using a pump for 10. I live in Israel, so I'm sorry for my English writing as I'm not native to it. I've bought my Libre thru my relatives in Spain the day after it was launched there (October 10th i think), so i have a Spanish speaking reader(!) which is not that bad.. considering the fact it measures in mg/dl the- standard measurement in Israel also. now, about the Libre- In Israel CGM are funded by the ministry of health to children under 18 and above 18 only if you had 2 episodes of sever hypoglycemia, so I need to fund the CGM from my pocke, the cost of Enlite, Dexcom, Freestyle Navigator are approximately the same - 850 pound for transmitter, and 300 pound for a box of sensors, having tried the enlite (and lived to tell about that) and Dexcome i will compare the Dexcom because it's far more accurate for my experience. Dexcom monthly cost will be 150 pound if you can where the sensor for a month - that, plus the initial 850 pound makes the Libre a bargain. so I've bought it as soon as i could after reading this thread. i've met with Abbott reseller C.E.O here and he said it will be available in Israel in 4-6 months. the first sensors where great, it was so accurate that sometimes i could know that my BG meter is off, it was 10% difference between the two, the third sensor is 30% lower than my BG meter but it's consistent as some of the people here indicated. it's been active 3 days and still 30% lower. i found the receiver big and with a problematic touch screen - along with a lot of UI problems but that is for another day. i use tegaderm to secure the sensors after the first one has pulled of bumping in the door frame (i get it for free since use a pump) the tegaderm is very good and evrey 5 days i replace it. so that's it. thanks again for all the info here. I'm sure a lot us diabetic will find it helpful. [/QUOTE]
