Relationship to Diabetes
Type 1
I was hospitalized 6 April 2020, with a longterm BG at 96, and short-term to high to be measured, ketoacidosis, and i was hospitalized for 5 days.
Diabetes 1. My 5th autoimmune dissease.
And today... 🙂
Today I will receive my very first Libre 2.
Digi-freak at I am, i would offcourse by myself a smartwatch, also because i am often outside, or at long roadtrips due to my work, or sitting i daylong meetings - it just would be easier.
I hope this group can inspire me, give me knowledge, and i just find it interesting to get to know as much about this little "lifelong friend" of mine 🙂

Have a great day
 
Hi @Jebbie and welcome to the forum. I see you are based in Denmark. Although this is a UK based forum it is great to see members from other countries to compare notes with and to see how different countries organise diabetes care.

We have lots of members who use Libra CGM and have wrestled with the compatibility issues when trying to get information to appear on a watch and I am sure some will be along soon to talk about what works easily and what doesn't.
 
Welcome to the forum @Jebbie

Sorry to hear that type 1 diabetes has joined your autoimmune condition party. Glad to hear you are getting access to Libre2, hope it suits you well, and you find the information it provides helpful in managing your glucose levels, spotting patterns, adjusting your insulin and generally seeing what is going on ‘between the dots’ of fingerprick checks.

Diabetes is a serious condition, but it’s also one that can usually be managed well - it’s something that you can learn to live well with, and it shouldn’t stop you doing things you enjoy. It’s just that some things might need a little extra preparation, and the taking of some precautions.

Good luck, and ask away with any questions you have 🙂
