I’m not the author, but the author simply asked their primary care doctor for one and I know others who have done the same. Next time you’re at the doctor, just explain that you want to be proactive about health and ask for one. Make sure to get the 14-day version: https://www.freestylelibre.us/system-overview/freestyle-14-day.html https://www.freestylelibre.us/system-overview/freestyle-14-d.... It’s about $80 (cash to a pharmacy, not through insurance) and includes 2 14-day patches. Over the next year or two, performing at least a few weeks of real-time monitoring per year will become standard practice among those who consciously monitor their health. With the Libre, doing a few weeks per year is no harder, and not much more expensive than a home blood pressure cuff. It’s not even all that expensive to do year-round. (I don’t think this should require a prescription, but in the US it currently does.)
