Thank you for your question.

As per this Canada Revenue Agency list: Medical Expenses 2022, the Freestyle Libre 2 which actually reads the glucose levels is an eligible medical expense if you have a prescription for it as seen below.

Infusion pump, including disposable peripherals used in treating diabetes, or a device designed to allow a person with diabetes to measure their blood sugar levels – prescription needed.
