[QUOTE="Morto15, post: 1968913, member: 499246"] hi I have had type 1 since 1977 work as a bricklayer on a building site all that time, my long term bloods are always around 6 so am fairly well controlled but tend to spike up and down during the day only because going down the ladder off the scaffold walking across site to my van getting my tester then to the dirty toilet to do a test then back again is far too much of a chore. So imagine what it will be like for me now I have just discovered the libre freestyle my life will be transformed not only on site but when I ride my motorbike and when I go on holiday yipeeeee!!!! But the cost is the downer plus trying to get the sensors it took me 6 months to get the reader and have only managed to get 2 sensors, l have tried the first one out tonight and so far I am very impressed. My diabetic consultant will not intertain me having them on the nhs so even though I was using loads of testing strips and working in a dirty invoitoment the response was I was doing ok without this system, so where can I get the strips easily and cheaply I will just have to self fund [/QUOTE]
