    DexcomOne+ vs Libre 2 vs Prick test

Juggluco allows you to...

    Freestyle libre 2

    When applying, press firmly and hold for 15sec to allow the adhesive time to bond. Also hold hand up to head so the skin on the application site is stretched. Do not use any oil or oily product on application site, wash with Simple soap only, never moisturiser.

    Very important to move the insertion location. Very easy to develop a hardened area of skin which will give lower blood flow thus lower readings. Perhaps this is one reason some see the plus as a downgrade. Longer use may same issue with the 2.

    Could your wifi router be used in the future to monitor for night time hypos

    The concept would be very useful for the elderly, many in care homes and unlikely to go to the Pennines but also forgetful for medications and having difficulty with technology. A $30 Dr in the room is potentially viable.
