Cdpm - I notice in your profile that you live in Canada. In which province? If you live in Ontario, Quebec or the Yukon, and using insulin, you can get the Libre system through the provincial health plan - so no need for strips.
I have been diabetic for 13 years, and have used insulin for 11 and a half years. This means more than 12,000 injections during that time. What I found is do not hesitate when injecting the insulin. That helps not to hurt. Occasionally, I would hit a nerve, it would hurt somewhat.
Also, since I have been eating low carb for the last 4 years, my insulin needs have decreased dramatically. For instance, this past week, I only had to give myself 4 Novorapid injections. I do give myself though a Tresiba injection daily.
i had a libre and i really liked the no finger poking
it just kept reading low and when comparing it with
my regular freestyle lite the freestyle always said a good
number
i wasnt able to get that and the strips so comparing had to stop
so it just didnt work out for me
i saved one sensor to use if i get really ill and cant tolerate finger picking
for a few weeks
