One of the things we were told when we did our Libre Orientation, before receiving our first sensors, was that one of the 'thresholds' for being Libre eligible was Blood Testing frequently precisely because they wanted people who would use the Sensors frequently.I used to be sparing on my scans, feeling guilty, almost thinking it was like another blood test and oh no not another one.
9 months on now, I just scan more and more, it's so much easiear to flatten the bg levels out.
Maybe 30 scans per day now.
What are others doing?
I scan 30 times a day currently. A lot of those scans are checking my body's initial response to Insulin to help with timing my doses correctly. The Libre 2 alarms have probably reduced the number of scans I've taken, as I would just routinely check every 45ish minutes (with a longer gap after eating).
