[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2524132, member: 372717"] Like you, I developed an allergy after using the libre 1 for two years, and it became completely inaccurate for me. (To be fair to Abbott , they sent me numerous replacement sensors and even a replacement reader but it turned out that my body didn't agree with their sensors). I went back to finger procking and for the last two years have used a dexcom, with cavillon cream to prevent an allergy from developing. My understanding is that UK T1s are now eligible for NHS funded libre and/or dexcom, so it might be worth your while asking next time you visit your clinic (assuming you are in the UK). (I'm in New Zealand and currently have to self fund, though there is some talk of eventual funding for cgms. ) [/QUOTE]
