Kenneth's review of a FreeStyle Libre Plus 2 for his Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) (2025)
"I drive for a living, and now I no longer need to prick my fingers eight times a day. If the reading is 5mmol/l I know I’m OK to drive."
Holly's review of a FreeStyle Libre 2 for her type 1 diabetes (2024)
"Being able to see my blood glucose readings gave me the confidence to become more active again which helped lower my HbA1c."
Anne's review of a Dexcom (CGM) for her type 1 diabetes (2023)
"The Dexcom is so reassuring. The nurse helped me set it up so if my levels are heading below 4mmol or above 10 mmol my phone bleeps."
Jack's review of a NovoPen Echo Plus smart insulin pen for his type 1 diabetes (2023)
"Being able to see when and what amount of insulin you last injected, all at the click of a button, is a game-changer."
James E's review of a FreeStyle Libre 2 for his type 2 diabetes (2022)
"Thanks to my Libre 2 I have not had to call an ambulance for many many months. But I have to self-fund the device."
Alfie's review of a FreeStyle Libre 2 and an insulin pump for his type 1 diabetes (2022)
"I have had times where I didn’t want to do my insulin injections so my diabetes team suggested I tried pump therapy which I have now been on for about a year and it is much easier."
