[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2515675, member: 480869"] I’ve been reading an ad for supersapiens which is basically an Abbott libre rebranding for athletic fuelling and training purposes. There is a definite subset of responses from type 1 suggesting it is “insulting” and “offensive” and “pointless” that these items be used by non type 1’s and even worse non diabetics. Despite the fact that athletes pay for them privately and I think a subscription/membership that goes with it, the shortages and difficulties for accessing the free on the nhs were mentioned a lot too. (Are their still actual shortages as opposed to prescribing limitations/hurdles?). A few have pointed out the uses for food choices and responses (relevant for type 2) and how the wider market will allow lower prices and improved tech research and especially for kids make the sensors more normalised. I was wondering how the almost exclusively diabetic membership here saw the issue. [/QUOTE]
