Hi

I have been waiting for Abbot to inform me when they have more stock of the Libre glucose monitor. I went on a waiting list in April and I still haven't heard anything. Does anyone have any up to date information regarding purchasing one in the UK please?

I ordered my Freestyle Libre on Tuesday this week and wondered if there are any other users on here??

Hopefully chat soon

Still not heard anything. Still watching them on Ebay and wondering if it is worth paying some opportunist...just to help get my bloods on track! Here's hoping a rival company come up with a better one soon, to give Abbott a kick up the bum! Confused

I have one, When it works its amazing. I have been able to find the patterns in my glucose patterns which would not be picked up in 4-5 times a day finger prick testing.
However I have been plagued with unreliable sensors and I have had it since April this year and I am on my 3rd reader.
