A lot cheaper than a Dexcom etc - which is why people are going for them bigtime.

I have heard they are running short of the demands of people.

Are they though? I have a sensor from Dexcom that's been stuck in my arm for well over 4 weeks.
Reading another forum just now and the complaints are pilling in about the Libre.
Sensors failing, totally inaccurate, slow response from the manufacture, and very painful insertion.
Personally I would hold on to your money until the firm has sorted out the mess.

Thank goodness I'm skint at the minute! I would've bought one, deffo.🙄

Sensor in tonight. Have to wait a bit for it to talk to reader. Did not feel a thing when applied. Looking good 😉

First Bg test with both New Libra & bg test strip 0.2 difference 🙂 Very impressed 😎

In the Facebook group, there's nobody said it hurts. In this or the other DSF, there's nobody said it hurts.

I don't look at any other forums.

I'm hoping that the trial I will be involved in means they are heading in that direction 🙂 My consultant described it as the 'next step' in blood glucose monitoring. When you think about it, the consumables/sensors are £48 each and last 14 days. Hopefully, if they eliminate the need for some tests and help improve control then there will be savings to be made both in strips and interventions, plus the NHS would no doubt get a substantial discount on the price.

It's a no-brainer!

Keep voting Pls 🙂🙂

I have only had this device a day & a half & is double good ! 🙂😉

Hobie you're right it's brilliant It has helped me to realise that I was going higher before midnight than I realised and last night I stayed within target all night - I wouldn't have known to tweak my basals without the Libre. This morning it told me that my BG was going up so I knew to do a correction (obviously I double-checked with my BG machine which showed the same result). I've just ordered another two sensors🙂

I haven't felt either of the sensors go in🙂

It has open a new door with me ! At moment head is in melt down with info. I really like graphs etc. Have not had the thing long but brill 🙂 Well happy with Libra 😉

There seem to be quite a few on the FB Group Alan, who could do with reading a forum like this or other DSF, it strikes me.

A few of the parents of children have been saying how the thing gives false results if Little Jonny lies on the cannula bit - it depresses the amount of interstitial fluid apparently and I wonder if it could be one of the reasons it isn't licensed for kids yet. Apparently it's very important to remain well-hydrated throughout - I thought crikey! - I have to get up twice a night already without it!

We'll see.......
