Hey, just wondering how your laser eye surgery went? Was it painful??

No problem. Thanks for all your responses. I’ve ordered my new Libre 2 now so looking forward to using it

Have you had any other serious complications over the 40+ years? Right now I’m feeling doomed and that serious complications are inevitable
