[QUOTE="WilliamWindle, post: 2659658, member: 236370"] Hi, my first post for ages.... Had an email from Abbott and they want me to try one of their products a "Freestyle Libre sensor" although I've applied for one, I have never wanted to use this type of device and in all honesty the finger pricking is one I feel safe with. Never investigated these devices and don't know much about them, although I know people use them, but, are they safe, are they the way forward and what are the pro's and con's associated with these devices and do T2 diabetics recommend the use of such a device. Reading post on the bleeding aspect of such devices leads me to think there may be a big problem with them. I would welcome any feedback on the use of sensors and ask [B]how [/B]do they actually test blood glucose ? I understand that the blood is randomly or continually tested but if the sensor pricks into the skin would blood not clot ? and dangerously cause potential blood clots in the body ? I've not received my [B]FREE "[/B]FreeStyle Libre sensor" yet so do I give it a try and see for myself if it works for me or continue with a finger prick to check my blood glucose ? [/QUOTE]
