[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2264641, member: 372207"] Just select the part you want to use and a little reply button pops up. Took me ages before I found out about that particular trick :). Makes perfect sense, especially now I've noticed your study is moral philosophy, missed that on my first reading. In the Netherlands the Libre is now covered for all diabetics on MDI or a pump, T2's as well as T1's! I think for detection of abnormal bg in T2's it makes more sense to ask them to occasionally do a fingerprick test instead of waiting for the next hba1c to see if something's up. The ones already involved in their treatment often already test, so they'll likely catch a sudden change in their diabetes. The ones not willing to do an occasional fingerprick likely don't want to be bothered by applying a new sensor every 2 weeks and scanning at least 3 times a day, bar a couple of exceptions. So I wouldn't think it's very useful in detecting if a T2 needs a change of treatment. However, I think it would be very helpful to T2's, with or without medication, who are willing to tackle their diabetes and aim for numbers as close to normal as they can get. Therefore I hope this tech will become available to anyone who feels they'd benefit from it and want to use the information it gives to change things for the better. [/QUOTE]
