[Diabetes-Talk] Are both the freestyle and dex com monitors accessible with the iPhone?

[Patricia Maddix]

The insurance regulations may be quite different for gestational diabetes so you’ll probably want to check with your insurance. If you have to pay out-of-pocket the freestyle libre is much cheaper.

I am working with my doctor to possibly get one of them since I have gestational diabetes again and  pricking my fingers constantly is impacting my ability to read braille at my job.
