[QUOTE="Energize, post: 2021955, member: 28960"] Ok, operation over and back home later same day, ie yesterday. Amazingly, none of the staff I met during the course of the preparation for theatre, through various departments (ie recovery) seemed to have even heard of the Freestyle Libre system. I told my admitting nurse I'd got it in situ so lots of questions trying to explain what I was talking about but impressed with how easily it scanned and the resultant graph etc. I said I'd like to speak with anaesthetist to explain it to him rather than remove it, as I was convinced s/he would be impressed and happy for it to remain. Well, lovely chap arrived, I explained and demonstrated, he was very impressed and interested, used it throughout the operation. I'm not aware of whether he did any finger pricks to check BGs, though (and didn't think to ask when I saw him later, in Recovery) Recovery staff were very interested and several actually came over to me, asking what this 'gadget' was! Obviously, I was more than happy to demonstrate and explain a bit. (fortunately, I tend to recover quicky after GAs, and was in Recovery for ages (only because of poor communication on part of staff) so was happy to chat to people, while doing my crocheted hedgehogs (for charity) LOL Yes, I certainly went prepared for hanging around ;) So, it seems surgery went well, I'm feeling fine and, with nothing planned for the next few days, will be taking it easy. So pleased the Libre was found to be more than acceptable during operation, eh? :) Hope I have helped interest and given some good education to staff. All helps to get word around ;) [/QUOTE]
