[QUOTE="Tj-73, post: 2361870, member: 536111"] I’m type two but recently on insulin, I’m self funding a freestyle libre (£100 a month) ... I may not use it forever but it’s making a massive impact on learning what I can and cannot eat. I can tell my levels through the night, how slowly certain foods make my levels come back down... if I’d gone along with the 4 finger pricks a day I’d end up with insulin levels through the roof, weight gain and anxiety... this gives me more control and less relying on the meds. It’s a patch you wear on your arm and you scan it with your phone or you can buy a scanner. Each patch lasts two weeks and costs around £50 approx. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
