    Freestyle Libre Poll - Have you had a skin reaction ?

    Voted no skin reaction but bg results up to 5 mmol out on the high end and 2 out on the low end , sensor got knocked off after a week. Gutted i really wanted this to be a great product! Maybe better in a couple of years. Great idea but not up to it.
