Abbott Freestyle Libre Reader

As a newbie I'm beginning to slowly understand the complexity of this disease and how it effects people differently! Thanks

Can someone please tell me if the Freestyle Libre reader has any sort of built in timer or alarm clock that can be set for injection or meal times?

Yes there is an alarm function for reminding you to do whatever is required.

They suggested I scan first with libre then wait 15 mins to take blood and use optima.

I'm quite surprised at this. The reading from the Interstitial fluid tends to follow that of blood by about 10-15 mins, so I would have expected them to suggest doing a blood test, then waiting 10-15 mins to do the scan, as that's the normal difference.
