ABT has done a good job over the last year getting hospitals to approve distribution during care and, insurance, including Medicare to cover cost. This is normally covered at 50% cost or roughly $80 a month. The Libre 3 is a much improved product. This is still a middle class and up product because of the monthly cost and the requirement of a modern smart phone. It's also excellent if a patient has a doctor willing to download and review data. Patients who use a Freestyle and pay attention to smart phone alerts can easily remain in range 95% of the time or more. As docs will tell you, staying in range is, (for most patients), the biggest challenge.
I'm not affiliated with ABT or this product, I've just seen how well it helps patients willing to change lifestyle and monitor progress. Diabetes is generally not a killer but inattention to the disease will eventually take a toll.
