What country is this? I just order freestyle libre online you don't need any doctors receipt for this.

US requires a prescription because it's classified as medical device "class 3"

Isn't that interesting - the UK regulates medicines pretty closely, but I've just tried and I can go straight to the web site and buy one here, no questions asked.

Here in Canada you can buy them at WalMart: https://www.walmart.ca/en/health/home-health-care/diabetes-c...

Not an the option for US afaik.
