Ellie is still on injections. She only finger pricks when she is testing her bloods before eating the rest of the time she scans her sensor

Yes it very easy

It varies

The reader comes in a small case

Protective case for the reader or sensor?

Once our trial was over we got to keep the reader and it was up to us if we bought the sensors for it. Ellie prefers the sensors to finger pricking all the time so we continued with it. So far so good

Ye sure

They will show u how to do it, it's up to you if you let them do it for you or you do it yourself

My daughter recently started using the libre. At her appointment the libre rep discussed how the sensor worked, how to set up the reader and showed us how to apply the sensor correctly. She was really nice and answered any questions that we had. After the sensor was applied and scanned for the...

Thanks, it's much appreciated

Hi all, My daughters libre sensor runs out tomorrow. This is the first sensor she's had and I was wondering if anyone had any advice/tips for removing the old sensor. Thanks

Hi there, My daughter was diagnosed in February this year and it was also a complete shock to us all. It's definitely been a steep learning curve for all involved, my husband often says its like having a baby in the house again! This forum has been a godsend for me personally, any question...

Thank you so much everyone!! 3 hours of parading in 23 degrees of sunshine, 2 little rests in the car to refuel herself and she finally made it to the end. Super proud of her right now [emoji4][emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

As I wave my daughter off on a parade along the sea front she doesn't have a care in the world and that's just how it should be. Surrounded by her majorettes troop, I know she's in safe hands. My heart fills with pride with how well she copes with the daily struggles of diabetes. Good luck...

Our daughter was diagnosed in February and has a tough time with her blood sugars in a morning. We were contemplating purchasing a libre but like you say it's quite expensive. I spoke to the DN to see what her thoughts were and it turns out our hospital offers a 2 week 'try before you buy'...

My daughter hates her lantus injections as they sting so much. Her DN suggested using ice on it first and this has made it much more bearable for her x Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app
