hi there, i live in switzerland. my healthcare insurance finally is covering 100% of the cost of the freestyle libre sensors. although i have to pay the delivery cost myself! ( about 8 euros )

i have finally figured out how to use the graphic data in order to adjust insulin dosage. i was all over the place 17 hi's and 4.5 lows. now i have figured out i was using way too much insulin ( apidra 30 units 2-3 times a day ) as well as 2 x 50 units of lantus morning and night. now, i have...
