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.

Thank you for this detailed information. I am in the USA and my sensors are paid for by Medicare, so I will just wait and not go Self pay at 60 EUR per sensor, and stick with Libre2 for another 6-9 months

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?

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.

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

still don't have here in Sabah. Malaysia. my son only use libre 14days. Thank you Tom

[emb]

Thank you for all of this information! Too many hoops to jump through for me. I’m in the US, and will just wait (impatiently) until it is released here. Just a few more months…love your channel!

In sweden the diabetic nurse on the local health care center order freestyle and it is free. Not every one can get it you have got a serious diabetic diagnos really need one usally when you must use insulin. And the sensors are free too😊

[smoothjamie]

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.

[LittleBaboon]

Amazing video! Literally you are the single most relevant point of information for people who are trying to get their hands on the device! Btw, trying this sensor on my cat. If all goes well, will buy you a cup of coffee!

[gigiwong]

Thanks for the info ! Would love to try Libre 3, but right now I'd stick with my Libre 1 with Bubble for usage extension to lower the cost.

[mgv]

Thanks for another great video. I’m in the US, so I’m going to wait for the US launch. I learned from your video, that the 3 was approved here.

[rogershults]

Hello Tom I love your videos on freestyle Libre 2

I'm from Tennessee in the USA

I am a type 2 diabetic I just got my freestyle Libre 2 the other day

thank you so much Tom

[rrecarey]

Hello Tom, my son is type 1, we live in Panama and in order to get Libre 2 we did the same as you but using Amazon Pharmacy (we don't have US social security) and shipping to Panama, we are very anxious waiting for Libre 3, your videos are the best.
FYI, in Latin America there is only available the first version, but in My country none is aproved. ☹️

[MsCrzycatlady]

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.

[PsychNurse.]

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

[juicylouisey]

I spoke to Abbott in the UK last week. The Libre 3 is not available to buy here. It is only available through the NHS.

[markiangooley]

I’m still on the 14-day version of the original Libre. Now that the 3 has been approved here in the USA, I… might just wait until I can buy it at my nearest pharmacy.
