[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2329260, member: 527103"] You can ask but ... - all CGM use Interstitial Fluid rather than testing bloods so there will be a lag - NHS has approval for Libre 2 which should be available in the new year. Libre 2 alerts via Bluetooth when your blood sugars are too high or too low. So, I would not be confident that you will get the more expensive Dexcom. Alternatively, you could "pimp" your Libre with a Bubble or Miaomiao. These are a one-off expense (rechargeable) which attach to your Libre and converts the NFC signal to Bluetooth so your phone receives the BG and applications like xDrip. Spike or Glimp respond to the readings in real time with alarms if you go too high or too low. The added advantage of these apps is that they allow you to calibrate your readings against finger pricks. They, basically, convert your Libre into a CGM. [/QUOTE]
