Flash glucose monitoring system the next best thing to a cgm.
Flash Glucose Monitoring is a much cheaper and alternative way to check your sugars, insert a sensor into the arm/leg and scan away why prick when you can scan.

The system does not require fingerstick calibration, so users can dose insulin based on its readings (except for when hypoglycemic, when glucose levels are rapidly changing, or when symptoms don’t match the system’s readings).
The sensor can be worn for 14 days at a time, and has shown better control and much cheaper then testing with strips.
