Hi, I've just stumbled across the forum while doing some research on the Freestyle Libre I'm due to get in April and I wish I'd found it earlier. I looks like a great source of information and support.

Type 1 diabetic for 26 years (diagnosed when I was 23) and looking forward to a few less finger-pricks going forward.

Glad you found us, Chris! There's a lot of libre/cgm fans here who've been using it for a few years, so any questions, fire away.
 
Welcome @ChrisJ_SLH , I am from Australia, downunder.
Yes, you have the additional 'joy' of a multi-national brains trust and the extended range of humour that goes with it.
No slang dictionary required though. Just a tolerance for some wacky thoughts, attitudes and ideas at times !!
Please feel free to ask any question, no matter how simplistic or detailed. It is very likely that one of us has had the same type of query at some point. We have all made mistakes in the past and learned a lot from them. If that enables someone to avoid the same mistake, all the better.
And please share of your experiences. I am still learning at the 52 'tooth' year on insulin.
We also share our own interests, pastimes and how we accomodate them into our management pf diabetes.
Plenty of information on the Home page and by entering key words into the Search box, Right hand top corner of the Forum page e.g. Libre, CGM, problems with Libre, apps for Libre etc which can help with any queries you have also.
Best Wishes. :):):)

Welcome to the forum. Everyone's open to a few less inpalements...
Feel free to just ask.
 
Welcome @ChrisJ_SLH
Hope you get more than info from forum. I've meet some lovely people too.
Their meet ups remind us that we are human and not just robots trying to sound human. He he he.
Some very inspirational people.

What's your story?
 
Most people who stumble end up knocking something over, or flat on the floor, but you ended up here.... how cool is that, Welcome!
