Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr_Pot" data-source="post: 2425261" data-attributes="member: 216415">My experience with a free trial of a Libre 2 was the opposite of [USER=301751]@Emile_the_rat[/USER] I found it very accurate compared with finger prick tests and very useful. I am diabetic but with an HbA1c around 38 due to diet only. The 14 days trial enabled me to check some meals for possible delayed spikes that finger pricks had missed and see how my BG varied during the day. It also correctly predicted my HbA1c which was impressive. Having said that, I don't see any point in my case to use a CGM regularly, as I would be unlikely to learn anything new. If you are in Wellingborough UK then I don't see any reason why you can't just buy a Libre from a pharmacy, they don't require a prescription as far as I know, you only need to be diabetic if you want to avoid VAT, hopefully someone else will confirm.</blockquote>
