[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2400661, member: 365308"] If you are in the UK do talk to your team about getting the libre. I think they budget for about 20% pf their clientele getting them and usually consultants are very much in favour because they case see how much better they are for their patients. There may be a few hoops to jump through but please stand your ground. [B]I think all type 1 s deserve to have the best tech available given the difficulty of the task we have to keep our blood glucose 'in range'.[/B] I am currently investigating Dexcom via the many YouTube reviews of it because I have just got a t slim basal iq pump that works by talking to the Dexcom sensor and adjusting insulin up and down accordingly i.e. it will anticipate the trend from the readings. Hearing great things about this system from actual users so I am hopeful as the tech does seem to be getting a lot better and its useful being able to quickly check your blood sugar. No more fumbling for strips in the cold//wet whilst panicking that you might be going low etc. etc. The Dexcom measures every minute and is continuous whereas you need to measure during 8 hour period fwith the fsl in order to get a trend line but tbh I'd be happy with either its just that the Dexcom works with the tslim basal iq. I don't have any problems with it falling off my arm though I know this is an issue for some of my friends! [/QUOTE]
