I had no email but got 'the text' this morning! It's coming between 12.59 and 13.59, I'm at work but someone will be home and debating going home in my lunch break but that might be being too eager! Do you think it matters when you insert the sensor and have the 1 hour warm up, as I will want to do it when I get home but will be eating then so will have changing bg's and don't know if it's better to do it a bit more inbetween meals or maybe it doesn't matter and I'm over thinking it!

Got a little frustrated when I read that your devices were being despatched from France by Chronopost and they still haven't emailed me that it was available. They still haven't emailed me but today the shop was working.
It came to 185.85€ including postage and TVA which works out at £147.
( TVA (VAT) on the device and postage combined worked out at 6%; so charged at the lowest rate but you can't get away from that here
Now to sit back and wait.

Could we not use a big plaster over it?

I think I might find the feeling of the patch annoying at first but I'm sure we'll get used to it

I llok forward to reading updates next week on the Libre and just how long the sensor actually sticks on the skin for. Upto 14 days can mean anything really.....for some it might for 10 days and others 12. The rep that I spoke to at an event just used the words .....Upto. I asked about tape and again no comment

Shaun - 14:03 and 15:03! I hope Shaun drives carefully!

You'll all have your's before me, so please post how easy or otherwise it was to attach the sensor and any tips - I'm a bit worried about that bit. I've got so much to do at work today and I'm distracted like a kid on Christmas Eve LOL!

Just scanned for the first time!! Libre said 3.5 and meter said 5.4 - I was hypo about ten mins before and I read somewhere that the Libre would be about ten mins behind what a meter would say so am thinking that is what the difference is. Finding it really easy to use, so far I am really pleased - hope its lives up to everyone's expectations!! :)

You know, it's just occurred to me this could be the most amazing sci-fi horror story -à la Day of the Triffids .. Bright, motivated substance-dependents volunteer themselves for sci-fi 'cure' that turns them into aliens and successfully founds colony on Earth .. Remember Doctor Who and Adipose Industries? The one where Donna hooks back up with the Doctor.

Just saying ;-)
