Hi Ann,

yes as others have said there are a couple of brands that I would recommend,

the Dexcom is possibly the better of the 2 I know of,

it is slightly more costly than the Freestyle Libre which has a 14 day life for 
their sensors although in the states I believe that might be slightly less.

I personally use the freestyle libre and an app on my iPhone 
This lets me scan the sensor when I wish to.

The Dexcom however has an add on device which lets you connect the Dexcom 
sensor to the phone via Bluetooth and then it automatically scans the sensor 
every 5 minutes or so making it a full continuous  blood glucose monitor,

The freestyle libre is not yet able to do this by default,

However if you are in to jailbreaking iPhones or you use an android device 
there is a Chinese made product called maomao 
Which is a Bluetooth device that attachs to the top of the libre sensor and 
connects to the app on your phone to continually scan your sensor providing 
constant readings.

Again this isn't something I would recommend after researching it, as you would 
have to jailbreak your iPhone or join the developers platform for the apple 
world,
And as Richard said, yes you require at least an iPhone 7 as the sensors use 
NFC communication to talk to the phone that they are being scanned with.

Good luck and hope you find something that works for you.
