[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2445699, member: 527103"] [USER=549248]@kondziad[/USER] if you are checking your bloods 15 times a day, Libre may be more cost effective than finger pricks (and nicer on your fingers). Abbott still have their free trial offer available from their website. However, some people find that the constantly available numbers fuels their anxiety. I appreciate things are different for me as I have Type 1, but I still think, when I check my levels, why am I doing it and what am I going to do with my results? If I am not going to do anything, why am I checking? If I think my levels are low, and I will treat a hypo, that is a reason. If I am going to use the numbers to calculate my insulin dose, then that is a reason. If I am learning the impact of certain foods, then that is a reason. If I am learning the impact of exercise, then that is a reason. If I am checking to see my levels are safe to drive, then that is. a reason. But If I am checking for the sake of checking and will do nothing different regardless what the number is, why am I checking? [/QUOTE]
