Hello,I was wondering if anybody knew of and cheaper alternatives to the freestyle libre device which I am struggling to find money for but would really benefit me (non finger prick testing),thank you.
 
Of the 3 devices available, not counting the implantable one, the Libre IS the cheapest CGM at this time. Even with a Libre, you still need finger pricks because it can’t be calibrated. I love mine, but more for seeing the trends from different foods or activities.

Article compares cost, in USA, near the bottom
