[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2139018, member: 460354"] I'm currently wearing one for a 3 reasons. 1) I'm working with a couple of surgeries, I have my own clinic for pt to pt diabetes and weight loss support so I wanted to be able to demo blood glucose monitors and also the libre 2) to gain even tighter control and to see exactly how my body reacts during the day as often as I like. Better picture and boy does it work 3) to show my DN the results on my next appointment (nov) I also give presentations. My latest one just this week at central west primary care network integration workshop which was attended by many drs and HCPs (around 100 attending) I spoke of my journey and reiterated how important my bg monitor was in getting into remission (and staying there). I was on This morning with holly Willoughby and philip Schofield the week before sharing my story but wasnt allowed to bring on my monitor sadly (or mention names like DCUK and diet doctor). I was able to sing the praises of low carb AND high healthy fat. On dx I asked if I could have a monitor 'not necessary and testing can become obsessive' was the reply after I had been told my t2d was progressive and advised to eat starchy carbs for my energy. Omg they have it so wrong. I'm self funding for libre. It's expensive but a great investment for me especially as I hope to do many presentations in the future. I have another one planned for November. I'm hoping to get some PR around it 'as seen on TV' :) I will be waving my monitor around as usual. I see more and more stories in the news now about t2d not having to be the progressive disease it was thought to be. Almost daily in newspapers. Dr unwin is in the mail this week with a diabetes special. Just this week David Davies got blood sugars down by following a lchf woe. They want to save money. They need to listen. They will have to listen as the evidence states them in the face. Just a matter of time imo. Just to add, when I went to my gp and said' look at my hba1c with lchf, down from 62 to 39 in weeks, found solution on Google' he thrust his cup at me which said 'dont confuse your Google with my medical degree, you could have done same on low cal'. (He should be supporting pts that want to help themselves!). So as a member of the ppg I asked for stats on how many had done what I had. Apart from bariatric pts apparently I'm the only one!!! I still have the email. For info: [URL]https://mol.im/a/7488217[/URL] [/QUOTE]
