Just in case it is of interest to anyone considering or newly starting on Freestyle Libre as the new national NHS guidelines launch, I have been involved in putting together a series of videos to form a pretty comprehensive education programme on the use of Libre.
It launches this week with a live webcast and Q&A session, and will then roll out with additional webcasts, plus the ability to dip in and watch/re-watch any of the videos via the Diabetes Technology Network website.

The HCPs involved are all very well respected nationally and internationally, and all of the information I've seen from the programme has been excellent (though I've not watched all the videos yet!). Topics cover everything from the basics (including an introduction by me) to detailed stuff about arrows, data review, exercise strategies, hypo avoidance and reducing glycaemic variation:
1. Introduction – Dr Emma Wilmot, Derby
2. Mike’s experience of FreeStyle Libre – Mike Kendall, DTN-UK representative
3. Getting started with FreeStyle Libre – Dr Peter Hammond, Harrogate
4. Interpreting daily traces - Geraldine Gallen, DSN, London
5. Basal insulin - Dr Emma Wilmot, Derby
• with insulin pens
• with insulin pumps (online only)
6. Carbohydrates – Nicola Taylor, Dietitian, Derby
• Introduction
• Advanced (online only)
7. Bolus insulin – Dr Jackie Elliott, Sheffield
• with insulin pens
• with insulin pumps (online only)
8. Reviewing my data: what does it all mean? – Dr Fraser Gibb, Edinburgh
9. The diabetes rollercoaster – Dr Emma Wilmot & Nick Rycroft, Derby
10. Exercise strategies – Dr Parth Narendran, Birmingham & Dr Rob Andrews, Exeter
11. Hypoglycaemia - Dr Pratik Choudhary, London
12. Understanding arrows – Dr Pratik Choudhary, London
13. Glycaemic Variability – Dr Iain Cranston, Portsmouth
Hope it's useful for people.
