[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2214167, member: 41816"] Yup. Part of my comment was anecdotal. It was also clearly explained as being anecdotal. That is a good thing because it shows (like other people who have posted on this thread) we all have individual experiences that may, or may not, match up with the manufacturers declared info, or the results of a study on people who may, or may not, have different circumstances from ourselves. Anecdotes are great, so long as they are not stated as universal facts, and I was very clear that my experience was mine, and no one else's. One of the reasons this forum is so helpful to people is because all our varying opinions and experiences allow members to learn learn from personal experiences, share references, exchange views, and make up their own minds, then change their minds as they learn more. Opinions, like science, constantly evolve. I am both a mod and member, so I get to learn and share my experiences and knowledge alongside everyone else. I also get to say (pretty frequently) 'please don't take anything anyone says on this forum as gospel, because they are just strangers on the internet' and that since this is a forum, please use it as a springboard for your own research, don't take anyone's opinion as proof, and seek a medical professional if necessary, because members here are not allowed to give medical advice. In that respect we are all exactly the same. I also take care (as I did in my post above) to distinguish between my own personal experiences and other people's personal experiences as well as links to other sites and information sources. We have had many, many different threads on this forum about the Libre, its accuracy, Abbott's customer service, skin reactions to the glue, sensor failure, additional gadgets and Apps, delivery delays and different versions of the Libre around the world. All very useful to members. All peppered with anecdotes, references and informative discussion. I for one am looking forward to many more such discussions. [/QUOTE]
