Hi @banita I live in Canada. I recently received an email from Abbott telling me I can now get the Libre 3. So it's not rolled out everywhere. I asked a question on here about the differences they found between the Libre 2 and 3 , but nobody answered.

It’s being discontinued the libre 3 and switching to the 3plus https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-u...be-phased-out-replaced-freestyle-libre-3-plus

Thanks for that information.We are in the process of selling/moving home and are currently still being looked after by the German health insurance together with the NHS being UK citizens and Seniors.

The NHS provides the libre 2+, not the 3 unfortunately. You can buy the 3 and the sensors, but it is not cheap.
