[QUOTE="Edge, post: 1640369, member: 458714"] I went onto the Freestyle Libre only two days ago but already I have found benefits. It provides a great level of detail about how your glucose levels are rising and falling which gives good insights and helps with planning. The ability to scan many times a day is great, it’s so much more convenient. My understanding is that many NHS trusts in different counties have not approved use of the libre on prescription, and that is true of Hertfordshire I believe as I cannot have this on NHS myself. I guess they are still working out who needs this device (e.g someone will low warning signs that has hypos) and the cost/benefits v test strips. The sensors are expensive at over £55 each every two weeks, if you are paying yourself. Also, it’s frustrating for me as a Mac user that there is no driver software and no Apple iPhone app either (windows and android phones only) All said, you may be able to get a free starter pack which comes with one sensor. If so, I recommend using it for 14 days and see how it works out for you. [/QUOTE]
