[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1852766, member: 345386"] I know you've commented on how your son really doesn't fancy the Libre at the moment, but I'd ask if he's an active lad, who likes lots of sport? Earlier in the summerre, I attended a Diabetes UK fundrraising event for Diabeteds Week, at our local garden centre. Whilst there a staff member engaged with me, and it transpirerd her son is T1, at around 13, if I recall properly. Anyway her lad is a very keen cyclist and found the Libre has really helped him fuel and manage himself forr much longer stretches on his bike that he could before. They're sold on it, even though their local CCG hadn't, at that point anyway, made the decision to fund any Libre use. Your guy sounds like he has his head screwed on and he'll come to his own conclusions whatever you think, but I'd urge him not to close the door on it, if he's offered a trial. If he didn't like it, he'd never have to have another go, but he'd have given it a go. [/QUOTE]
