Hi, I am glad you have also been lucky enough to get a free trial. I will also struggle to afford the strips every month, but I am hoping I can do it for a couple of months to get a clearer picture of the effects my daily life has on my levels. I was surprised at how many people at the db...

This one seems pretty sticky but early days. I asked about removing it after the 14days and they said pick it away gently and rip off like a plaster. Someone had posted about using baby oil to remove so if I have a problem removig will try this x Family have enjoyed the novelty of scanning me...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to update you on my appointment with db nurses to see freestyle libre rep. We were given a reader and a sensor, also a voucher code for free postage on our first order. This has been a fantastic saving and lets you try before you buy. My hope is other read this and...

Done, Good luck with your masters

Had a quick look at website so much information this will really help me I will have a better look tomorrow as I need to go to bed and digest all ino. I have received today. Thanks Steve

I will write that down in my notes just now as the db nurses will be able to give me a letter to take to the gp for these. I will be so organised with everyones help. Didnt realise it showed arrows when levels rising or dropping till Steve gave me a website to check out x

Got it so wrong about reactor lol I will have a look for some compeed tape just to be on the safe side and will watch out for those door frames. Will make a change from dodging supermarket trolleys as someone always catches my ankles lol. The guy in the you tube video I watched about removig...

Fantastic thankyou I was checking the forums and saw info. on graphs which I did not understand so the website you gave me will be really helpful. Going to check it out just now. So grateful x

Dont know if it will help with your hypertension, but worth a try. I had my blood pressure checked 3 times at db clinic and it was really high they mentioned something about white coat syndrome as I get really anxious going to docs. On the fourth visit I took my mobile phone with me and asked if...

Excxellent that was really quick x

Hi, no confusion I am really pleased you told me what works for you, it also sounds sensible to me. I would rather hear the views of diabetics as they have the experience of using it. I would also like my 50 quids worth lol. I will see how the first one on the trial goes as they are going to put...

Thankyou Sarah I was just wondering how long it would take for sensors to arrive. I have signed up to the website so I will order them 7 days into the trial. I will ensure I tick tax relief and use the free postage the rep is giving us for our first order. I really appreciate all the help I am...

It finally paid off to keep pestering my db nurses though I was beginning to give up hope and was in the process of ordering kit myself. I attended an adapt course and non of the others in the group had heard of this device. It pays to be a member of this group as this is where I found out about...

Thankyou for your reply, it would be great to sleep without the fear of hypos at the moment I catch a few hours sleep then test several times through the night so more inclined to keep levels higher than recommended. This alone will make a big change to my life. I am not sure if they are going...

I will take more time looking through the threads. Peaks and troughs wont phase me I have been trying to get control for quite some time now so used to the ups and downs. I want to get more details of how food exercise and stress effect my levels. It would be fantastic to have one all the time...

Just received fantastic news today I will be getting a free trial of the freestyle libra on Wednesday for 14days. I live in the UK and this has been arranged by my diabetic nurses and the freestyle rep for a group of us. I have been trying to read up on issues people have been having as I am...

Hi, I have been asking my db nurses about the freestyle libra for ages since reading about it on this website. I finally got a call from them today and a group of us are invited to meet a rep. on Wednesday who is giving us all free trial for 14 days. So worth a try. Good Luck
