There are a few people who know about these things but until you have a go of one you will not understand. I have been on the comp for the last couple of hours & watching my bg go down & down after my "T". I deff would not do that with test strips. It shows on a graph. I intend going out on Peddle bike this weekend & see how it does. Brill 🙂
 
Well some of us are champing at the bit Hobie, can't now get hold of one anywhere till after Xmas - and it doesn't help your rubbing that in, thanks ever so!
 
I am trying to promote the Petition TW ! There are some folks who have not lifted a finger yet & this device is way ahead of other gadgets. 😉 Good luck getting one cos I think they are great 😉
 
Hobie

But if people are not interested in them, they are not interested. You keeping banging on bout it won't change that unless there's something actually NEW to say and there isn't yet.

Plus although YES! I am interested - I am very doubtful as to whether it's any use doing it - they are DOING the clinical trials, which is what NICE/the NHS may listen to. They will not be swayed one way or the other by a petition and if they are, they aren't doing it right because the only thing that matters is if it works CLINICALLY.

This devise may/may not be the best but it will make other manufacturers think how they can. I love it 😉
 
I went out last nt for a couple of beers & dragged Libra out of pocket passed over arm with my coat on & in seconds knew Bg. No sharp pins & no dropping test strips using 3 hands. Is life changing gadget 🙂 Please Please keep voting 🙂 Had superb results for last 18hrs

I've duly forwarded the petition to Facebook and family bods... I know we can talk about it in here, but perhaps a thread about the experiences might be of use (?)
Think I'll take the plunge anyways.... making the move to carb counting and think this will be of huge benefit in the coming weeks and months.
 
If we use this post to talk about it the more chance of getting more votes. Until the majority have tried it people will not know how good it is. Since I have been on computer tonight I have tested 8 times & watching the graph it makes. Miles ahead & so easy to use 😎
 
Well the Facebook Libre Users Group page is good for seeing what other folk are experiencing, though some of em don't appear to be quite as well-educated diabetically as 'us lot' ! LOL
