If you do not have a pump with integrated CGM then you have to factor in the cost of a receiver also. If using a Dexcom CGM, the transmitter has a minimum 6 month warranty, and the Medtronic Enlight transmitter has a 1 year warranty. The cost savings are mostly due to the 3 year warranty (when registered) with the scanner. It is more economical than available CGM, however it is not yet available on the NHS. The Libre is different from everything else on the market at present (Jan 2015) It’s not a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) If used constantly it enables you to see a full picture of your daily levels which helps you analyse your insulin and carbs and make adjustments to your diabetes management. The FreeStyle Libre also be used as a regular blood glucose and ketone meter, using test strips prescribed through your GP. Exciting! My FreeStyle Libre box contents!
