[QUOTE="Knightrider, post: 2182874, member: 495917"] The Libre is brilliant - a revelation. My Diabetes Consultant said to me 'The most significant advance in the management of diabetes in the 20 years doing my job'. Analogy. Before, using finger pricking, it is like sailing a boat close to a rocky coast and only being able to check your depth every 4 hours or so with a lead on the end of a rope. After, with the Libre, it is like having an electronic depth sounder fitted - you can watch the depths all the time, from the comfort of the bridge. Make sense? In my neck of the woods, Sussex, once you have had the Libre prescribed you can't/don't get it until you have attended the introductory course - which may be the DAPHNE Course, can't remember. Mandatory, not optional. So to some extent it doesn't matter 'what it's like' - you gotta be there!! Run in my case by a lady from Abbott with local diabetic Specialist Nurses in attendance. Which is fair does. They are expensive and you need to have some tuition on how to use it to best advantage. I found it is a good course and was delighted to get going with the Libre. [/QUOTE]
