[QUOTE="therower, post: 1755294, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=471340]@lilybracken[/USER] . Welcome to the forum. It would appear that the libre is a great piece of kit. I'm in no way trying it put anything negative but I would just say a few things. 1. Learn the basics of being T1. The libre is great but you need to understand your diabetes and how you manage it to reap its benefits. 2. If in the future should you find a problem with the libre you will need to revert to finger pricking control of your diabetes. This is far more difficult to get right but if you have this experience you'll be far better equipped to deal with anything diabetes and erratic sugar levels will throw at you. 3. Being so recently diagnosed you will invariably go through a honeymoon period, this is going to make things very irregular and erratic for you. The libre is great at tracking trends, being in the honeymoon period is not going to give you good day to day trends. 4 . Definitely give it a go, maybe in a few months time ( only my suggestion) but don't rely on it completely. Master the basics of being diabetic first. Hope I've not been to negative here. Good luck with everything.:) [/QUOTE]
