Continuous glucose monitoring

Does anyone know about a continuous glucose monitoring system, I have to test my blood sugars all the time they go very low especially at night and I have lost a bit of awareness of low blood sugar. It is costing me a fortune on glucose testing strips. I have adjusted my insulin then my blood sugars spike. If someone can help or maybe advise me where i can get glucose strips for cheaper. Thanks
