Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, they were helpful!

Thank you for this informative video. I appreciate you teaching me more in depth what this lil gadget is doing. I've been using the 14 day Libre for a few months and I absolutely love it. My fingers were so sore from poking repeatedly and I'm still having some issues with them. This reader is extremely helpful with keeping up with where I'm at & what I'm eating. Subscribed.

I want to say thank you so much for your video. It cemented my wanting to get one. My doctor has been fighting me about it because I am type 2 and not type 1. But he just put me on a third medication. And couldn’t understand my need. Well I wanted to start fasting and was scared to try it without a better way to track my sugar levels. Yesterday . I started my 20-22 hour fasting and this monitor is amazing! I have not had to take any meds and I am with in the 80-140 range all day the last two days. I have been double checking with a tester and I am only seeing slight differences. I will keep you posted if you like. Again I am sooo glad you made this video!!

Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy libre ☺️

Thanks for the video. I have been using FreeStyle Libre 14 day for over a year and a half . Love the idea that I have finger tips again. However, you seem to get an occasional itching and when the sensor is removed you get a skin discoloration. If you are not careful you can knock off the sensor from your arm . The sensor needs a doctor's prescription , so it can be costly . So, I have tried a new location starting today-my belly. This year the price has increase, even with my prescription insurance. So , I am debating the sensor price over the test strips price.

Thanks for the useful info. I love my Libre and check reading on my phone with the help of Blucon without scanning the sensor.

I use the Libre, what I wasn't told about it when I got it is the sensor itself doesn't have a needle, BUT the applicator that applies it DOES, that's how the filament on the sensor gets under the skin, doesn't hurt when you apply it tho, feels like a shot, actually my shots hurt worse then the sensor application lol I LOVE this thing!! I got my finger tips back, I was testing so often my finger tips actually got thick skin on them, and started bruising, now since I've been using the Libre, my finger tips have gone back to nice and soft, the price of the sensors tho for only 2 weeks is killing me lol monthly price around my area WITH a coupon from a RX saver site, was still $60-70 for each sensor

Thank you for your thorough analysis. I’m a Type 2 diabetic hoping to reverse the condition. I noticed big discrepancies between the Freestyle 2 and the finger prick Accu-Chek Performa Nano. When I check both at the same time. Libre Vs Accu 7.7 Vs 6.0 (just now) 8.1 Vs 7.2 (a few days ago) ...and so on. I called the company up and they said it was something to do with capillaries in the finger for the Accu Chek giving a quicker reading compared to the Libre in the arm. But as you say, "

I just got my Libre2 sensor , I’ve been using the original Libre system Your videos have been excellent teaching me how to getting it up and running using the reader and my IPhone Thank you so much I live in Australia and I love your accent, keep up the videos they are great

Hi Diabetic Energetic, thanks a lot for this video! In search for the appropriate CGM system (first time user) I have been following lately quite a number of contributions and comments on the Internet regarding that topic but still I cannot make up my mind. Since the new Dexcom G6 is not available yet in my country I tend to decide for the Freestyle Libre in combination with the Ambrosia Blucon Nightrider, which is now also waterproof if I understand correctly, and the SpikeApp. A bit irritating I find the varying impressions people have regarding the accuracy of measurement results of the various systems but I guess that one has to live with this for now and just find the most suitable system for oneself. Thank you very much for your great contributions and help! You are really doing a great job! All best wishes!

Recently i note large differences freestyle libre and my conventional pricky meter. This was confirmed by a recent hospital visit where my doctor confirmed such. I then changed my freestyle libre to a brand new one and a new sensor. Am I doing something wrong

Is there a way to track the readings from the scanner and iPhone on one device?

Hi! Thank you for your informstion. My husband has used the system for about two years and we love it. Today, we applied his new sensor, scanned, waited the hour required but then did not get back to scan for a number of hours ..then we got a message that the sensor was not reading and to wait for five hours to try again. I will say that for the first time ever he had bleeding when sensor was applied so wonder what isbwrong. Any Israelis be appreciated! Thank you. Lpk

Thanks for the great information. I dont need to scan to view readings but it shows me every 5 minutes readings on my phone/smartwatch using blucon nightrider with libre sensors

Yeh you can do a manual scan every minute if you want to get a reading. Otherwise it will auto collect a reading every 5 mins over 8 hour time frames. I quite like it, especially the app and the graphs it gives. Very useful for testing out foods.

I just got mine after requesting this from my doctor's, I did the process, but I have to know how to read the data info if it is high or low , just like the regular blood glucose machines that I've been using.

I use ambrosia's blucon with libre sensor to view real time readings and effect of food/medicine/exercise on sugars. It gives me alarms for HI/LO sugar. I dont need to scan to view readings but it shows me every 5 minutes readings on my phone/smartwatch

This was very helpful. Thank you! My Mom has just gotten one and I am learning about it to help her learn to use it.

Hi. so I've only knocked my sensor off ones and Abbott replaced it. Abbott has 14-day sensor guarantee and you are qualified for a replacement sensor when that happens. Mine was knocked off in the Ryanair toilet and I don't want to share more details 😂🤣 and it was on the 13-day and they still replaced it. To actually solve the issue, you can use special big plasters available at boots or your local pharmacy. Also, you can buy specially made libre patches on some websites ( i think RockaDex is one). They basically make the adhesive bigger so it sticks better but i still think a patch that covers the entire sensor will be better ( one that fully covers it). I hope that helps

I wore it one day and was able to get my results but the next day it stopped. What do I do? It is very expensive to replace.

I am new to this fancy diabetic high tech stuff... I have been cursed with diabetes for 15 years, due to cancer treatments... I am an old guy lol....... Thank you for the GREAT VIDEOS AS ALWAYS... GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!! I do my sensor on my abdomen, i will not do the arm, just not good for me. it would tear off real fast..... i am really new to the libre. hope it is as good as it looks

I've had mine for about 4 years

I just started mine today. Doc just told me to start taking readings, and knows I have a legit fear or needles. She's seen the aftermath of a TDaP shot. (lol). Thanks for the video, it was really informative.

How are people getting freestyle Libras and other things like insulin pumps. I can only guess they are loaded and just buy them. I'm on 6 dosees of insulin a day so six injection for years and the NHS still won't put me on a pump. Plus absolutely no chance of having a free style Libra unless you're on a pump. I've tried everything. I know enough about unit to carb conversion and so on. Anyone have any tips

Anyone know what LO means if it comes up??

My newly diagnosed son is going to trial one Thursday he cannot wait ! I just watched your other video and was really pleased to know it’s a insulin calculator also !! I was planning on still pricking prior to meals , do we need to or do you just rely on this alone ?! Great videos 👌👌👌

That’s amazing . And thanks so much for your lovely comment. I would suggest finger pricking for the first couple of days to see if it’s accurate. And then just use values from the sensor if it’s accurate. Tips to improve accuracy: make sure he drinks a lot of water, and he doesn’t sleep on the sensor or apply pressure ( lean on it) as it will mess the reading up as it will go into compression low. I hope that helps 😊😆😀
