Probably something you guys need in the USA etc,

But the libre freestyle is that,

A very usable product that can help a blind diabetic keep track of testing 
results 
Keep dietary and insulin dosages recorded 
Compare test results over time periods
And let doctors etc view test results of the users account through the sharing 
in the libre app,

These are things that for me prior to moving on to this product 
I wasn't testing as much as I do now,
I can keep better track of how I'm feeling and reacting with regards to results 

It's a fully accessible system and I wont go out of my way to change it from 
what it currently is.

Our physician is very supportive and advocated based on the fact that both the 
patient and her husband are visually impaired and would have difficulty testing 
using another method.

It can be done if you are a determined self advocate with a supportive 
physician.

Larry, in my case, yes. The requirements were- Had to be diagnosed at least 
1 year, had to test glucose levels 4 or more times per day & had to  be 
taking insulin. Insurance plans differ, each persons situation is different 
& some peoples doctor is willing to help the patient get the needed device, 
while others doctor is lazy. So obtaining a CGM is on a case by case basis. 
Obtaining a CGM through state medicaid seems to be easier than private 
insurances.
