[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1546826, member: 412001"] Don't know if this will help the OP but, just in case... While the DexCom is outrageously expensive in NZ, I found a press release from last month announcing that the Freestyle Libre is now available in NZ, too: [URL]http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/GE1707/S00014/abbotts-freestyle-libre-now-available-for-nz-diabetics.htm[/URL] It's a fraction of the DexCom cost (as far as my untrained eye can tell - I don't use CGM, just trying to help) and, if my Google exchange rates are correct, it's actually cheaper in NZ than in the UK. You buy the scanner, sensors last 2 weeks: [URL]https://www.mediray.co.nz/diabetes/shop/freestyle-libre-flash-glucose-monitoring-system/freestyle-libre-flash-glucose-monitoring-system/[/URL] A review from the main Diabetes.co.uk website can be found here with more info: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose-meters/abbott-freestyle-libre.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
