[QUOTE="Rose22, post: 2251382, member: 509613"] Oh that’s brilliant, I am on day 2 of my first Libre sensor! How are you finding it? I am self funding, to see if it’ll help me see patterns and just feel more confident with trying to introduce exercise and see how my carb counting/ insulin doses are... and what happens during the night. Do you mind me asking, did you have to do all the courses to get it on the nhs.? My dn said I’d need do carb counting course (first one was a years time) and then attend the Libre course plus 3 month follow up course. I’m guessing this has all stopped due to shutdown? I’ve only been on insulin 7 weeks, so a sort of newbie. But found left to my own devices completely! No appointments, no follow ups. I’d email my levels to the dn to check ok. I was told to do fixed doses, after a bad hypo, I’ve switched to carb counting as best as I can. Finding the Libre really great so far, and fingers have had a rest! ☺️ So nice when in target! Slightly alarmed when see high spikes. I’m using my mobile to swipe. [/QUOTE]
