[QUOTE="gbswales, post: 1427003, member: 21675"] I use the libre sensors for 2 weeks then prick for two weeks (on cost grounds). I am type2 on insulin and the sensor has been accurate enough to prevent hypos. Due to poor circulation finger picking is very hit and miss and I waste a lot of strips because of not getting enough blood out. The pain from multiple prick makes matters worse so that I rarely finger test more than once a day. Risky I know but my body gets plenty of warning of hypo which is enough to even wake me. However an accurate sensor red on a smart phone and paid by nhs is my dream [/QUOTE]
