I have a friend who is a doctor. He was using it himself & offered to write me an Rx.
I’m now doing it a second time, using the levels health app [0]. If you can make it to the front of their massive waiting list (and don’t mind paying their fee), it’s the easiest way to get one.
It wasn’t covered by insurance, but the Freestyle Libre CGM was $37 at CVS & lasts for 2 weeks. The major cost factor (for most people) is getting a doctor to write you an Rx.
Levels is around $400, but all you have to do is fill out a form online & wait. They get a doctor to evaluate your profile & write an Rx, and then they fill the prescription & send it to you with patches & everything. Their app also does more data analysis than the default Libre app, and it puts the food-log directly on the glucose graph, which is surprisingly useful.
