[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 791382, member: 89494"] Same here. I been on the FL since it launced. I hardly ever finger prick. I havent really had any issues. Had 2 faulty sensors but Abbott replaced them within 3 days. Just like you get used to how you feel with blood readings, you eventually get used to how you feel with using interstitial readings. I hardly have any hypos since being on the FL. Soon as I feel a bit strange, I scan. If I see the downward arrow and im at say 4, I take a mouth full of luzocade or have 1 /2 jelly babies and that soon gives me a straight arrow. My HBA1C dropped by 1% so Im now in my 7's so Im happy. Ive also stopped using my omnipod pump because that was just another device to carry around with me and another patch attached to my body. Back on Tressiba and Humalog. Its easier just keeping my scanner in 1 pocket and my pen in another. All we need now is for other manufacturers to follow so that this product becomes freely available on the NHS. I can honestly say..... Im costing the NHS less. Ive not had a single dr or hospital appointment since being on the FL. Ive not even had the flu this year. With my BG being normal and stable, I have not had any issues. My eye sight is never blurry, my neuropathy has gone. I only had my diabetic review and my consultant was really happy. My next appointment is in 6 months. Before, I had an appointment ever 2/3 months!!! All we need now is the new super insulin that only starts working when your blood sugar rises and then stops working if your BS drops. [/QUOTE]
