[QUOTE="Josiemm, post: 1718405, member: 466765"] Never heard of it being in Asda so I'll have to check it out! The requirements are indeed crazy, but I would honestly advise buying your own if you are concerned and would want one. I've had mine for about 2 years now and it is definitely worth it- sorted out night time hypos and general control, it's also amazing for adjusting basal rates and carb ratios. Yes its expensive but to be honest, it isn't a necessity for us Diabetics- I can understand why the criteria is so strict for them, especially with the strain the NHS is currently under. As an 18 year old it's made life much easier, especially at stressful times but it is not something you need all the time- at first you might wear one straight after the other but once your sorted, just have a backup sensor in your cupboard because you really don't need them frequently. Again, well worth the investment though, it isn't something you regret and I personally found it much better, more accurate and less annoying than CGM (to be honest though, when I tried that it fell off after 3 days, not too sure why lol) [/QUOTE]
