The reason for this page

Hi there I am a type 1 diabetic and I have used a finger prick blood testing monitor for about 15 years.

Through out this time I’ve suffered on average around 500 hypoglycemic episodes per month, just over 60% of them being admitted to hospital.

I am currently using a libre sensor it’s £50 per box there’s 1 in a box and I use 2 per month so that’s £100 per month, I have been using the libre sensors for about a year and I have been having around 1 or 2 hypoglycemic episodes per week while using the sensors and the phone application that will inform my loved ones and my diabetic nurse when I have an episode.

The libre sensors are a life saver and I am unable to use the sensors due to funding issues because of current world events

It may not seem like much money to spend per month, let me assure you it is for me I am it a tough situation in life where I am just trying to survive,i understand during these testing unprecedented times its a struggle for the majority of us and we will get through this though time.
