    Libre Sensor 2 - PLEASE BE CAREFUL - Recent Issues

    Insertion trauma can be reduced using Ibuprofen or similar It can be dramatically increased due to insertion at a point previously used at an area of skin hardened by prior use or “insertion” such as needlework. Which is why it is recommended to vary the insertion location and to avoid areas of...

    Juggluco on Android. Who needs Libre3

    It seems to offer the transfer of data but last time I checked (some months ago) it was not working, so just use the LL in parallel. No problem with that on my Android system.

    Juggluco on Android. Who needs Libre3

    The apps are far superior to LibreLink for helping you manage your D. But the NHS has great trouble learning even LibreLink so it is not surprising that they resist 3rd party. Remember that we deal with D 24/7 and every day of the year. Medical professionals rarely do. The 3rd party apps have so...

    Is Interstitial glucose measured by CGMs different from the finger prick-measured glucose?

    Finally Insulin concentration - look at the graphs in this medical article - USA but would ours be better? https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1932296817747292?icid=int.sj-full-text.similar-articles.2

    Is Interstitial glucose measured by CGMs different from the finger prick-measured glucose?

    Perhaps the best way to compare CGM ”accuracy” is to compare two sensors on the same person. Or one sensor to the best blood measurement and plot them on a chart. If perfect, they will plot onto a single 45 degree line. Differences show up as scatter to each side of that line. Here is the line...

    Is Interstitial glucose measured by CGMs different from the finger prick-measured glucose?

    Consider the individual cells in your brain. Where do they get their glucose? They do not have blood capillaries. They are bathed in interstitial fluid. How do you “Feel” your glucose level? So often we feel a hypo before it shows in BGM results, whether from blood or CGM. Because we detect he...

    Type 1 Disposal of Free style libre 2 sensors and applicator

    If you are concerned about the sensor filament, simply apply a flame. A common match will cause it to disappear. If you are concerned about the insertion needle even though it is firmly retracted into the applicator after use, a screwdriver will release it if used firmly and the small conical...

    Libre 2 questions

    Just to support the reply by Kingsmac. I have been using Libre for over 6 years. It can be life changing but does take a little time to gain its full advantage. After 6 years, I am still learning about it but it was immensely useful after just a few weeks and I certainly feel it saved me from...

    Car hypo treatment

    GlucoRX Gel has a shelf life over 2 years and is quick acting 15gm. Comes in a tube with tear off top then allowing you to slowly suck gel into mouth. While I also carry Glucotabs, they need to be held in mouth to be quick acting, hence concerns over choking. The key to quick action is that...

    Smart watch teamed with Android phone - to show BG reading from Libre 2

    connection from LibreView directly to watch is not available yet though it is supposed to be planned. Probably held up by current upgrade fiasco. It is possible using the Juggluco .com app. Linking to Samsung watch. :

    Is libre app rollout complete as still no email from them and sensor only has 24 hours left

    I understand that the update is being “rolled” out over the next few days. So some devices (cellphones) will have if sooner than others. This time they are testing before general release …. hopefully
