Why Libre Users Need Insurance
1. Most Affordable Option
At £4-6/month, FreeStyle Libre insurance is the cheapest CGM coverage available. Protecting a £50-80 reader from catastrophic damage for less than £5/month is excellent value.
2. Reader is Your Access Point
Your Libre reader is how you access glucose data from sensors. Damage means no glucose visibility until replacement—insurance ensures 24-hour access restoration.
3. Portability Risk
Unlike pump users who wear the device, Libre readers are carried in bags/pockets, making them vulnerable to drops, water damage, and loss.
4. Instant Access to Glucose Data
Libre 3's reader provides instant glucose readings. Losing this access for weeks awaiting replacement is not acceptable—insurance provides 24-hour replacement.
Libre 2 vs Libre 3 Insurance
| Model | Insurance Cost | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Libre 2 | £4-5/month | Reader + sensors (scanned readings) |
| Libre 3 | £5-6/month | Reader + instant glucose via Bluetooth |
Bundle Options
If using Libre with an insulin pump, bundle coverage for savings:
- • Pump only: £8-10/month
- • Pump + Libre bundle: £10-12/month (saves £2-4/month)
- • Libre standalone: £4-6/month
Recommendation
