    Apps - what’s your fav for logging results and monitoring?

    I make no apology for being an information sponge right now! Another question is about apps. I already use the Apple health app to record stats so I’ve update it to record BG levels too but the question is more about the specific BG apps like: Glucose Buddy One Drop and the others. Is there...

    Has anyone else used the FreeStyle Libra?

    So... a few months back I was asked to take part in some user testing of the new FreeStyle Libra. This clever little device was put on my arm and sat there for 2 weeks while it took constant reading of my BG, bye bye finger pricks.
