[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1520495, member: 374531"] I love it. Unlike strips where you're really only getting little snapshots a few times each day, you get to see the whole 24 hour movie. The big difference which it makes for me is that instead of dealing with highs and lows after they have happened, you can see situations early on as they develop and then pro-actively take steps such as 5g or 1 or 2u to stop it happening. It has it's quirks - it rarely measures the same as the meter, because meter reads blood and libre reads glucose in the interstitial fluid, the fluid between cells, and there's a bit of a lag between the two, 10 to 15 mins. But once you get used to interpreting it, it makes strips alone feel like the Stone Age. There's a long thread here by maglil55 describing her journey with it which went from slightly unconvinced to loving it, it'll give you plenty of hints and tips on what to expect: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/life-with-libre.118450/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
