[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2401588, member: 451727"] For me as a type 1 it's a question of having to really, it's used to determine how much insulin to take as well. The libre is prescribed (to some) instead of the glucose strips so unless you buy your own strips and use them too, you're 'stuck' with it. Having said that, I MUCH prefer it to numerous finger prick checks but when it shows a lower or higher than anticipated reading, I always back it up with a finger test (with my own strips plus they DO give me one box every two months). I would hate not to have it, it makes you feel normal, it's so easy to swipe as you are going along and despite the odd dud, it's fab. [/QUOTE]
