    CGM (Libre 2) has made a H.U.G.E. difference in my diabetes (type 2) management. It gives me cause and effect information about how food, exercise, etc. affect my sugar levels. I was taking gliclazide but stopped because my sugar-management got to be so good that I no longer needed gliclazide, which, in fact, resulted in low blood sugar. I recommend cgm to absolutely everyone with diabetes. The finger-pricking meter absolutely did not give me enough information to be able to control my blood sugar levels.

    I've been using libre sensor for past 2 years with AMBROSIA'S blucon nightrider to get readings on watch and phone without scanning the sensor. Wether Libre 2 gives alarms but still we have to scan the sensor to get the bg value. with nightrider blucon we even don't to scan the sensro, it give HI/LO alarts without scanning the sensor. It's a complete CGM.

    Enjoyable presentation with much good information on CGM use and interpretation. I would, however,add that treating low bGs with "snacks" consisting of half sandwiches, etc. is almost guaranteed to result in high blood sugars and further difficulties. It's important to use predictable sources of rapidly absorbed CHO in treating low bGs such as glucose tab or sugar cubes. Over time it is possible to accurately estimate a precise amount of bG response to these sources of CHO whereas 1/2 sandwiches, apples, oranges, etc. produce very unpredictable bG increases and often result in hyperglycemia.

    Hi Diana, Hope you'll see this message. I'm a type 2 patient at ACMC which is part of the Cleveland Clinic. I just got a Libre 2 but haven't tried it yet as I'm undergoing Hyperbaric Oxygen at the wound clinic there. Do you know or can you find out if these sensors are safe to be worn in the HBO Chamber? I go in there every day and I know you're not allowed to take anything in there. Thank you.

    Sorry to bother but I'm a medical student undertaking an extra research year in endocrinology (with a specific interest in Diabetes management) at Imperial College London, I was wondering, do you have any papers you've written or starred in around this topic? Or some references to support some of the amazing facts you give during this talk. Very keen to hear back.

    I am of the opinion that all in the medical field wear one of these monitors for at least a couple of months to assist them to get over the idea that health starts with medication. If you are in any field that even suggests what humans should eat, then trial the standard diet, vegan, Keto and Carnivore for at least 3 weeks each with a CGM. Very low carbohydrate, below 10% and carnivore diets have got folk of medication for type II diabetes in there thousands, and helped type I diabetics stabilize their blood sugars and reduce their medication. If the first thing you address is not diet, then you are not practicing health. If you look at the history of recommended diets, the conflicts of interest and bias are astounding. Chronic disease is now the worst in human history, so some humility would be of benefit and an honest endeavor to evaluate what makes sense. We have too many very intelligent well trained parrots, that have failed to critically think. Good luck in your studies and may you be one of the few brave enough to always critically think and speak honestly about what the science actually says.
