[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1715910, member: 402985"] The starter pack which contains a reader and two sensors is £159 then you can get VAT off so that should be more £130 - from libre themselves, Then the sensors cost £58 then you can get the VAT off so that is about £46 a sensor which lasts 14 days. I budgeted £100 including VAT a month and got a little change as I often found a free postage coupon. You do not need a smartphone. You can access all the information on the device for realtime, trend and some summary 90 day data and I found that generally was all I needed. If you have a desktop or laptop PC then you can connect the device to that and download the data into its free application and run some pretty good data - lots of reports. If you are savvy and have nothing else to do you could download as a file - put into something like tableau and produce graphs till the cows come home. I tried this for a while before I realised that the stuff that came out the box told me more than enough. The device allows you to mark when you eat and can remind you to do a 1hour and 2hour post meal check. When you look ta the graph online it will mark and display the post meal high. I found this most useful as sometimes I was going higher earlier than I thought I was - so my down curve happened earlier which was really helpful when I did the ND. Anyway - sales pitch over. I want to add that I do not own shares or have any interest at all in abbottt :) [/QUOTE]
