[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2045536, member: 372717"] Look, if you're offered it on prescription I would 100% go for it. I used it for about a year and it was as life changing as when I was originally given a glucometer back in the 1980s. You put it on your arm and not your tummy and it's very easy to apply. Only two drawbacks really 1) the readings lag behind by 15 minutes compared to your actual blood sugar. 2) it's not accurate for everyone, particularly if, like me, they develop an allergic reaction to the sensor. I self funded and would still be using it had I not become allergic (sigh). My understanding is that there are add-ons that you can get to send hypo alerts, which is what I'd want in your position. Note that you'll have to google or ask here to do that, but it's well worth it. Look, you have nothing to lose. Give it a try. [/QUOTE]
