[QUOTE="MarkHaZ123, post: 2235131, member: 512570"] Iv just changed my first one today after starting 2 weeks ago on the libre. The nurse talked me through putting it on making sure I knew what to do. In 2 weeks I have really begun to learn what my bloods do and how things effect it like work, drinking, cycling, football and just chilling out As you can see the ups and downs you find where things change and you can find adjustments to your insulin you need to make. When out on the bike I'd never check my bloods and always go by how I feel. This can be dangerous. Yesterday I checked my bloods before going out and then twice when I'd stopped for breaks when I did 45 miles. I then checked at the end I was just starting to hit hypo range on one check so straight away I had my cycling gels and half an energy bar. I was fine for the next 20+ miles I'm sure if you pop into a pharmacy they will show you how to put it on and talk to you regarding any questions or if you ask your diabetic team. Mine at James Cook hospital are great. I hope you get sorted as it really does help you out [/QUOTE]
