#2268

We have a 7 year old T1 nearly 4 year, not only would this save his little fingers from contant pricking, we could prevent blood glusose spikes by doing extra scans. At present, we avoid doing any more than we feel necessary because of his fingers. But we feel this could change the way we treat his diabetes. At present, the full cost would cause us extra hardship we cant afford.

My daughter is currently using it & its made such a big difference to our lives. Its very costly but we'll do anything we can to keep it. The sad thing is the cost is similar to the glucose strips we used to use to check blood sugars which are covered on the Lti card no reason this cannot be...
