I would like to start a thread for people who are on an insulin pump and who are using the new freestyle Libre.
Have you used the AGP software with the traffic light system to fine tune your pump?
How are you using this to adjust your basal rate?
Have you noticed anything you did not know before using the Libre?
I fasted from 8pm - overnight to 6pm the next day. I seemed to stay between 8 and 9mmol. From this, I think that my Basal is ok...perhaps just a slight increase (say .05 increase per hour)
What surprised me was from about 4pm, my levels started rising to about 16. I see this pattern over several days. I know there is the dawn phenomenon which raises glucose levels in the morning. Does anyone know why levels would rise suddenly between 4 and 6pm?
I dont see the traffic light system yet on my AGP profile. Has anyone been using the Libre longer than a week? Do they only appear after a while when there is a definite pattern?
From spikes after eating, it seems I spike drastically then drop fast - To avoid this, do any users split the bolus or how soon would you take a bolus before eating?
PS: This thread is for advice from pump and freestyle libre users only. Its not for complaints regarding reading variations or faulty sensors neither - theres other threads for those postings.
It would be nice to see images of AGP profiles and positive replies as to how you have used this new meter and software to fine tune your pump and any experiences that you learned from the Libre that you werent aware of.
