Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 1031315" data-attributes="member: 88961">I have probably had around 10 sensors, and don't use them full time.  I invested to satisfy my curiosity about overnights and the "gaps" I could never, ever capture from finger prick testing.  I'm more of a data monster than a gadget girl, although I do like my gadgets.One of the biggest wins, for me, aside from the insights I sought, that having used the Libre for a few sensor cycles, was that it it increased my confidence in my self-management and released me from the constant need to gather data.I do still finger prick test each fasting score (sort of as my benchmark), and will continue to do so, as a bit of a safety net for potential deterioration, and obviously new or strange scenario around diet, exercise, stress or whatever.  I've recently had several months of fairly low-grade stress as I was having tests for something that could have been nasty, but turned out to be less nasty (phew).  It dawned on me yesterday that I had never actually used the Libre in a stress-free period, so I'll be breaking out a sensor over the next couple of days, and place anther order. Thankfully, my life is generally pretty relaxed and stress-free, so welcome back my normality!If you can afford to invest the £130-odd then it is likely you will learn "stuff", but I would think it useful if you have an idea of what you want to learn, so that anything else you find out is a bonus.Enjoy!  You know you want to.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
