Amigo obrigado pelo seu vídeo

[@smoothjamie4046]

Your video says it is available to purchase in the UK now, but that is not correct. It is only available through NHS insulin pump trials right now. Not available to buy privately.

[@TypeOneTalks]

Thanks for the feedback! Apologies for the confusion about the UK. The video might have sounded it is available for purchase which is not the case as you correctly noted. I should have been clearer on this one...

[@viktoriialamakh4818]

Thank you for the video, Tom! It's great! My numbers with FreeStyle Libre 3 are getting better every day. I still have ups and downs, but generally, my life is much better with it. I'm from Ukraine, and I ask the person with T1D from Germany to order me Libre 3. Thankfully I can enjoy this great device.

[@viktoriialamakh4818]

I'm waiting for the app on Apple Watch, the same as Dexcom has. It's so cool to see the graph on the watch.

[@cridr]

so they got the EU approval .. BUT are selling only in the "lucky" EU countries. WTF is this ? this product should not say it received the EU mark only 6 countries mark .. why could not allow to buy this as a NON medical device .. I worked for medical products in the past indirectly .. all sharks and money lovers.

[@saurabhsinghania7264]

Thanks, Tom. I just subscribed to your channel. Your videos are very helpful and informative. You are making a difference in people's lives. A job well done but it is too expensive tom. I am using a libre pro sensor with my blucon nightrider by ambrosia because it is so affordable and easy to use and they are providing CGMs in Pan India. In this, we have lots of features like food insight and sharing reports to the doctor without a physical meeting, and my family members are also able to check my readings at their own place. So I am happy with my purchase.

[@Dariushellstrome]

It's going to be hitting the US soon, I'm on the 2 but I also want to use that add on item you had talked about a few vids back to allow my android phone to use it. The 2 as far as I've been able to discover does not have an android app in the US

[@TypeOneTalks]

Just be careful US sensors will probably not work with European app. They will most likely need the US FDA approved version of app.

[@annapayne23]

I've used the Libre2 with their Android app, no problem.. The 2 just requires you to scan the sensor with your device that has the app installed.

[@russelldemczak8510]

There is an app for the Libre 2 in the US. However it's so poorly designed and utterly useless, it would be better if there wasn't.

[@patty4349]

There is an ap for the 2 on android now. From I think about 7 or 8 months ago. It is better than carrying the dumb little LCD reader they sold me for way too much money

[@billytheweasel]

The real crime is that we aren't allowed to know our own blood sugar level. Not people trying to find work-arounds for unreasonable restrictions. I can't change my Apple account, they won't allow me. I've called and emailed multiple times. I have subscriptions that don't work in Asia where we moved and they refuse to cancel them. I got a Freestyle Libre 3 but the app will not download so far. I'm not sure my data plan provider will allow me to change countries without botching my phone. They had to review my visa and ID thoroughly and I had to go to government agencies to validate my address- just to get phone service. too Risky to experiment changing country/address.

[@PsychNurse.]

Google said I'll need a Physician Prescription to get this CGM. Is this true?

[@neeraj563]

Thanks (from India) Tom for bringing so many informative videos for us. I recently bought a very cheap deal here in New Delhi. I bought 10 Libre pro sensors(Euro 27 each) and Ambrosia night rider waterproof for Euro 170. Used Apple 5 watch 40 mm cellular second hand for Euro 190 for my T1d daughter. Now she does not need to carry the phone anymore. Saving a ton now. Libre 3 price is more than double. What do you say?

[@TypeOneTalks]

Thanks for sharing my friend! I am surprised by the 27 EUR price. That is very cheap and a red flag for me. Would be careful with this kind of distribution channel (as it is most likely some kind of "under the table" distribution) but if it works for you I am very happy to hear that!

Do not change the region in app store!!!. You purchases will not be visible in account anymore. Better simply log out from your current app store account (not iCloud). And log in in another (german for example). I have 3 accounts and i can easily change them any time.

[@comfort_food_guy]

Im excited. My nephew lives in Berlin, so he just ordered me 7 (the max). My issue is the app. I cancelled all subscriptions and it still says "You have one or more Apple TV subscriptions which must be cancelled before you can change your country or region. Also says i have to cancel my Apple fitness+ " But ive done all that! Any suggestions?

[@ohunderscoreou]

Just creat a new Apple ID with German details. Then you can switch accounts, download the app and switch back to your original account. I always do this because we don’t have even version 1 app in our AppStore

[@JacanaProductions]

Also, remember that the device needs to be next to your cell phone because it uses Bluetooth but it does have an eight hour memory so in theory the cell phone needs to be next to the sensor once every eight hours. Oddly enough, it has not been certified for use in salt water! It’s dumb that we need a prescription for this in the US!

One of the other downsides that you didn't mention is that insurance companies won't cover the Freestyle 3 if it is not approved in your country yet. That is a game changer for me.

[@slaveteri]

mine doesn't cover Libre 2, either, so there's not much change there.

[@alliemay6076]

Another important thing not mentioned in the video, is that some medical professionals might not be able to give medical advice based on the readings given from a libre 3 because it’s not an approved device. I asked a nurse educator about the libre 3 and she said until it is approved here, she can’t give any advice because it could cost her medical license.

Bolsonaro approves a law where after a medical device got approved by FDA or CE and others regulators, just need a simple signeture to be done, approved here, but, i not sure if this helps, i not trust any politiician, even those that i vote on, they all just want our money in the end

The device is a sensor used for information, not treatment. It is used to determine if you should need to do a blood test before any treatment which is standard for any diabetic. (BTW I have been a very well controlled diabetic for 46 years, Use a Medtronic CGM and pump - the latest and am not that impressed by value for money spent). I have a long history of testing insulin for big Pharma going back 40 years. My experience with this vendor in SA has been one of disgust recently when enquiring about Libre 3 here. They feel that we are merely not a financially viable country to use the version 2 or 3 sensors they produce (scary since their version 3 device is still cheaper than my current one and appears to be more accurate). I challenged them on why produce the older versions instead of only the new ones and that got ignored with a meaningless statement that really annoyed me. The problem with big Pharma, it is all about the profits as confirmed in my discussion with them (was wondering if they just have large stocks of the old stuff or is politics involved?). We as the customers, provide all the information they use for the treatment solutions they develop, and then we still have to pay exorbitant prices, and they play God as to whom gets the test results and when. Tom shares his experience with people and that is more important for a lot of people than anything, especially when people are new to our condition. I know from experience how badly some medical people explain the condition to new patients. Diabetes is all about knowing where your glucose levels are heading, then knowing exactly what it is now, and then confirming with a blood test before deciding on a treatment action. Diabetes is a life threatening condition if not treated correctly, so any device that helps us to do that efficiently and cost effectively should be made available to as many as possible. This device is merely one of those items that can help diabetics control their glucose levels. So why should it be withheld from anyone? Thank you Tom, for your efforts to help the community. You certainly have my support.

Thing that annoys me is my Libre2 costs $75 (€71) WITH insurance. The German OFF THE SHELF next generation costs less than my old gen. 🤬 I am being forced to switch to Dexcom G6 because it is the only kind that works with a pump anyway. They apparently cost a LOT more here in the US. My insurance is dragging their heels in allowing me to have it. God only knows when the G7 will be available here and able to sync with the pump. When I switched from the Libre to the Libre2 I had to use a $80 reader for over a year because the FDA had not yet allowed the cell phone ap. Apparently at least in part because they wanted to make sure no one tried to hook the cheaper Libre up to their pump.
