So I received my free trial of the libre 2. I’ve had it a couple of weeks but I haven’t used it yet. I wanted to make sure my diet was fully back on track, which it is. Also my sugars haven’t quite responded to the fact that I’m back at work, quite in the way I thought, so I’m thinking now would be a good time to use the libre 2.
but if I’m honest it makes me feel a bit icky.
I have looked at bits of the instructions and it warns against knocking it, and catching on clothing etc and the thought of wearing it bed or having a shower worries me somewhat,
So could someone who uses these things reassure me please.
does it really stick into your arm? I know as a diabetic we stick needles into our fingers, I inject once a week but this feels much much worse and is akin to finger nails down a blackboard.
so anything that would help would be much appreciated.
Next week will be my second week at work. Today I did my booods for the menopause blood test as per request by dr. If I could go in (or on the phone] armed with some more data that might help if it’s not that, or even if it did because I can’t see how that affects sugars.
