Message: <blockquote data-quote="Levy" data-source="post: 1579270" data-attributes="member: 31447">Completely agree with you! I took the plunge and bought my starter set 3 months ago after my A1C came back at over 8 (again) and I decided I seriously needed to get my a*se in gear. Being really honest, my main downfall with managing my diabetes was also testing. I've been diabetic 15 years and no matter how much I've tried to keep myself engaged with my control, I never managed to do it. I couldn't be bothered with the constant testing and spent many days just testing once or twice a day, not having a clue what my levels were doing the rest of the day. It would go well for around a month after my hospital appointments, but I always slacked off again. In that respect, Libre has completely transformed my life and my control! I haven't had an updated A1C since starting, but Libre is currently predicting a 6.4 which would be the lowest it's ever been and I'm seriously over the moon with that. I'm now happily scanning 20 times a day, not feeling fed up with it like I did with finger pricks, and the trends are really making me think about my food/exercise/basal doses a lot more than I used to. Sure, it sounds like a lot of money but in my eyes it's a small price to pay for my health and there's no way I'm giving this up!</blockquote>
