Hello,
I was diagnosed not long ago with type 2 and I am taking metformin once a day (with atorvastatin).
My cousin (type 1 most of her life) recommended trying the Freestyle Libre 2+, and I have just started my free trial today with the sensor on my arm. I am not entitled to it free on the NHS and would be self-funding.
I just have a question about disposal - I understand that the remainder of the applicator and the sensor (once used) both need to go into the sharps bin. How do I go about that? Can I go to a pharmacy and give it to them to dispose of? Can the remainder of the sensor once removed go into the normal bin?
Many thanks in advance!
