It is free You can get that thing that you have been dreaming of that you don't want to do your fingersticks You want to be able to check your blood sugar every minute every hour before meals after meals and you want to get your Control over your diabetes by monitoring it closely, correct? But you have doubts you don't know if your insurance covers it, you know You don't know even you don't even know how it feels like and so forth. Now, this is how you do it before we get started I'm dr. Ahmed Ergen. I'm an endocrinologist and a diabetes Export and metabolism specialist. I have more than 10 years of experience and today I'm giving you the secret how to get freestyle Libre for free. Let's get started All right, guys So basically freestyle Libre is not super expensive compared to the XCOM is really not that expensive So if you wanted to purchase that out of pocket, you can do that But the better is you can try it for free and the reason to try for free is not everybody is Going to like the freestyle Libre for a few reasons that I can explain in a minute But I'll tell you how to get it for free first So if you're in the United States and I cannot talk for Europe and Philippines and Asia You know, we have viewers all over the world But I can tell you how it works in in the US and I'm sure you can figure out how to do that in other countries as well So in the US basically you go to www.myfreestyle.us Okay, and when you go there, you will basically see the start here It says join my freestyle Libre program to try continuous glucose monitoring for free You click start here and then, you know, you want to try freestyle Libre 14-day system or freestyle Libre 2 system Now the 14-day system is not as accurate as freestyle Libre 2 system But as of right now in the United States, FDA did not approve the phone applications So you can only measure your blood sugar with the meter So you have to carry that meter around to be able to scan and see your blood sugars with the freestyle Libre 14-day system Although it's not super accurate in very low and very high range Sometimes but it is convenient if you don't want to carry a meter around So you click on that and then you put your name, etc, etc You know you apply for it now, of course They're not gonna just send you a Libre because it's unfortunately slay is still a prescription It's not like a meter and strip. You can just go buy from Walgreens or CVS But you still need a prescription So your doctor can give you a prescription your primary care doctor if they're not very familiar with it Just ask for a referral to an anachronologist You know we do that on a daily basis and we make sure that you get what you need So that's what we do everything but the bottom line is you can apply to this and as long as you have a prescription They will mail you a free kit and then you can try and see how it works for you Now most people try to compare numbers on the freestyle Libre to their meter and they will have different results Well, that's a mistake because they're not necessarily the same thing think like cars You know if you cannot just compare a Ferrari to a truck, right? Did they still do the job is it will still take you from a to b but they're not the same thing Freestyle Libre is designed to tell you to give you an idea where your blood sugars are about doesn't tell you exactly what Your blood sugar is and why is that because you know the freestyle Libre or even Dexcom They measure the fluid in your body now the fluid is outside the blood So as you can imagine it takes a little time to travel from blood to the tissue And then it takes time for the tissue level to be reflected in the sensor So there's a little bit of a delay your blood sugar will not be the same It's very fluid, you know your blood sugar is constantly changing unless you know You're fasting and you're not eating or drinking and it can be stable unless you're on certain medications But typically especially before and after meals after meals typically if especially when the blood sugars are spiking or even the blood sugars are Too low your body is trying to adjust during that adjustment period Your freestyle Libre will be very different than when I say very different It can be you know 20 30 points different if it is like 50 or 100 points difference Then that's a problem, but the bottom line is you know You definitely need to rely on your regular meter if you have suspicion that the freestyle Libre is not correct But freestyle Libre will give you a fair Understanding of your trending how your blood sugars are going and so forth if you want to try go ahead and try and If you want an anachronology console if you live in Florida or New York We are happy to help you if not just find an anachronologist and that person will definitely help you I hope that answers all the questions if you do you have more questions make sure you put on the comment below and Make sure you share this with family and friends.
