Message: <blockquote data-quote="Soph895" data-source="post: 2748195" data-attributes="member: 569545">I asked my doctor about having the libre 2 on prescription, a family member got me  3 months supply to try it out as with my mental health and eating disorder she though it can help seeing what my levels are constantly. It really did help but unfortunately I can afford to buy them especially being on sick with my mental and physical health. The doctor just said I need to speak to the diabetic nurse. So I did and explained and she was rude and said your type 2 and it taking insulin so no…and type 2 don’t even need to be checking. Which I explained actually I do have to check, for my own mind and to avoid panic attacks every time I eat. This was about 1.5 months ago. Since then my mental health and eating disorder has really deteriorated, to the point I attempted to give up on life and I’m under the crisis team again, this is also because I’ve been diagnosed with proliferative retinopathy due to apparently drooping my sugars far to quickly. So since this trigger I’m fingers procking nearly every half an hour even though my levels are normal, I’m scared for them to be high. When seeing the crisis team yesterday they want to do a refferal for adhd as they think it’s not just anxiety and depression. Is there anyway I can get my doctor or nurse to prescribe me the CGM? Is it worth when I see my psychiatrist in a few days to see if he can put in the letter he sends to my gp that it would benefit my wellbeing. I just not sure what else to do, but my fingers are beyond painful to prick now yet I can’t stop</blockquote>
