FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus

The value choice in Abbott’s range. You give up some alarm range and the newest sensor hardware, and you keep the same fifteen-day wear for about £104 a month privately.

FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus

The most convenient of the Abbott sensors, and the longest wear time you can currently buy. If you qualify for NHS funding, get it that way — the private price is roughly £140 a month.
