I keep on trying to get one, but being well controlled, the ins cos won't approve it. And its pretty spendy out of pocket. My biggest use case would be an alert that my glucose levels are tanking while exercising so I can do something about it before I drop out. I find myself not doing things like long bike rides that I'd really like to do because of it.
- mikeproctor 5y agoYou should be able to get the Libre 14 day sensors for about $120/per month (2 sensors) without insurance. I've been using it for about a year and it has been a huge game changer for me. I've been on insulin for about 23 years. The Libre doesn't have alerts but being able to tap your phone to your arm to test your glucose makes a big difference in how you test/monitor even without alerts.
- RHSeeger 5y agoThe alerts (of the G6) are certainly desirable (amazing). But, as mike notes, even just being able to check your glucose with 0 effort... just changes everything. You wind up checking it so often that it's more than just checking it, you get more of a feel for how your body is reacting to your food/activity/etc. I can't say enough positive things about it.
