[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2407870, member: 101136"] Hi, I think it's great you've been approved for the Libre. After 2.5 years of self funding I was recently approved for NHS funding. My endo knew I wore inner arm & also used a Bluetooth bridge effectively making it a CGM with regards to the Libre 1? But, you are correct that Abbott do advise placment on the back of the arm. For me, the L2 seems more stable & acurate. What I have noticed are with lows below 3.5? After treatment the readings will take longer to to recover (a goo 30minutes) to what the meter might say, or even how you feel.. I use a third party app too, on my phone. The low alarm is triggered at 3.9mmol. It can go off when when I feel fine. The meter might concur I'm fine. But then a few minutes later. Hello, I feel low? I've learned to take that early alarm as que to pre-empt a low with a nudge up from a nominal amount of carb.. Pretty useful tool in a hectic work situation or doing a gig.. I still carry my meter. I'm not ready to hand the job over completely to this little white disc, just yet.. [/QUOTE]
