    Thank you that is really encouraging! I will show him although he doesn’t know I’m on the website, I didn’t want him to think I needed support/struggling with diagnosis etc, want him to think I’m the strong one

    Any parents with kids using freestyle libre?

    Freestyle libre

    I have just received a third sensor for my son to try. The first one was put on at 11am and was reading faulty on the monitor the following morning and the second only lasted 4 hrs. I have heard about a skin tag to apply on the area beforehand. Has anybody heard of anything like this? Thanks
