    In another thread the timing and utility of single point gluco-meter readings was discussed. So I wondered what your actual measured peak times (or range of times) for BSLs is after meals (post-prandial) with use of CGMs? (Libre, or other??

    Dimple on Libre Sensor

    Has anyone ever noticed a small dimple or depression on the top of their Libre sensor? I am NOT talking about the little hole right in the very middle.

    Type 1 Measuring sugar levels - newbie question

    Hi This might seem like a bit of a stupid question, but something that I am confused about since getting a CGM.

    Dexcom G6 - second sensor totally inaccurate day 1

    I'm on day 10 of using the Dexcom G6 and this morning swapped my first sensor for a new one. Did everything the same as previously but this one is horribly inaccurate. It started by giving me false low readings (luckily I checked so I didn't correct) of 2.5 compared to 4.6 from a finger prick...

    Freestyle Libre and Arm Fat

    Hi guys, Has anyone on the freestyle libre noticed an increase in size on their arms? I've been using it for around 8 months now and have noticed the tops of my arms grow in size, like jackets that used to fit me are now really tight across the shoulders. But I haven't gained weight necessarily...
