Can you buy the Freestyle Libre 2 sensor over the counter? On holiday and wife’s sensor has come off and she has no spare. Many thanks

Hi 

My wife has never been able to get one over the counter. She can order one, but delivery can take weeks. It's worth noting that although she has them on prescription, she has to collect them from the health centre, not the pharmacy.

Maybe you could ask at your nearest health centre. (If you're in Villamartin, the nearest is in Cabo Roig). There's also a private one next to Consum in CR, upstairs.

Cheers 

Steve

Hi Antandtrace 

Can I ask where you got it from? My wife loses hers occasionally, so your input would be appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks, I never even thought that would be possible! Put an instruction video up on YouTube!
