I was also on the libre 1 when it hadn't long been about and I had that for about 8 months but then all of a sudden developed a reaction to the adhesive so went back to the finger pricks. But I want to try libre 3 at some point. Do you have a libre?
Welcome to the Forums. T1D here for almost 1 year - so still quite fresh.
I found this forum a great place to interact with and learn from others with Type 1 as until quite recently didnt know anyone else with the condition. (I did a DAFNE a few weeks ago).
Do you find that the dexcom is more accurate? I also noticed that the libre would often tell me my sugars were low when they weren't.
I find it more accurate than the libre 1 (which wouldn't be difficult, as my allergy resulted in the libre 1 readings going completely out of sync with my actual readings).
It sometimes reads a bit low with a new sensor (top tip, don't start a sensor at night) and I think it's the nature of the technology that sometimes you get a bad sensor, not sure whether that's location (sensor reacting with skin) or the sensor itself. It's worth checking against a bg strip occasionally to make sure a sensor is in range, and, of possible, double check a hypo.
But I love my dexcom, the hypo alerts in particular. (I have a history of occasional somewhat dicey hypo awareness if I have too many hypos.)
This is very random but if you have a bath, does it ever make your sugar levels drop? If nobody else experiences this then I'm unique haha.
Not me personally, but a quick search of the forums gives this
