I am a type 2 diabetic but injecting Insulin. I have been told that I cant be prescribed the Freestyl Libre glucose monitor because I am type 2 and have purchased them my myslef but they are very expensive at over £50 a sensor that lasts approx 2 weeks. I find monitoring my glucose using the finger prick method as painful and only gives you a window in to your sugars and when I use the sensor I can trully monitor an control my sugar levels. Anyone else have the same issue or could this be limited to my area? I live in the Portsmouth area.
