[QUOTE="Donought, post: 2367662, member: 533026"] Yup, spot on. I bought 2 to start with and fortunately it coincided with Christmas so I ate whatever I normally would, in the interest of science of course ;-) I then tried to transition to a more low carb diet for the next 2 weeks and used the 2nd sensor afterwards by which time I was pretty much fully low carb. Data was really interesting. I am currently wearing one as my endo has moved my metformin to a night time dose to stop my overnight hypos and wanted me to see what happened. It's so interesting...overnight hypos gone, good morning high FBG and afternoon hypos :-) So long as you can use NFC on your phone I think you can use the app to read the CGM. Then if you go to libreview.com you get the most wonderful amount of data, including a full excel doc of every reading. Only thing to remember is you must scan at least once every 8 hrs as it has an 8hr memory. Good luck with it all. Btw I was watching Ben Bikman last night and his takeaway message is so interesting - insulin resistance goes hand in hand with hyperinsulinemia and it is the super high insulin that causes all the issues. Therefore we should be trying to reduce insulin NOT blood sugar and the way to reduce that is to lower blood sugar as it happens. [/QUOTE]
