[QUOTE="gavin86, post: 1476123, member: 401781"] I have only been diagnosed for about a month or so, but I'm suffering the same problem. I got a Libre yesterday, and while I don't trust it much for important readings (low/dropping fast), I've noticed I'm doing less finger pricks if I see I'm steady or going up from the sensor. At first it felt weird and I was anxious about moving my arm much, but this morning I forgot I was even wearing it. Probably too early for me to recommend, but first impression - I like it. One thing I wish I'd known - if your phone has NFC you don't need the monitor (although it also acts as a blood glucose tester with Optium strips). I've justified the cost to myself because I'm new and having lots of spikes/on a bit of a rollercoaster. If I can afford it is like to keep using it though. [/QUOTE]
