I had T1 for 42 years and have taken good care of myself and my HbA1c was always good as it was an average of my highs and lows, the Hospital took far more notice when I funded my own Libre but they then transferred me onto a DEXCOM G6 as it benefits you be having inbuilt alarms to warn you when going low as I could still be walking round making meals for my children whilst my B.S. was in the 1st.I am however amazingly fortunate as I was added to the Pancreas Transplant list last April & received my Pancreas Transplant 6 months ago now and am no longer Diabetic... no more Insulin ... it’s still odd and I often go to have my nighttime & then remember I don’t need it. There are lots of options but I would very strongly suggest the Dexcom G6 vs the Libre as it gives you the confidence & ability to self manage with the data it produces, inbuilt alarm and weekly report of your results which the Hospital Drs can log into.Good luck and any questions please just ask Claire x</blockquote>
