Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bill_St" data-source="post: 2764257" data-attributes="member: 310899">The Mayo Clinic, perhaps the world’s premiere hospital has recently produced a report on advanced insulin injection techniques.(you can find it by Google “FITTER Mayo Clinic”)It is designed to advise medical professionals and is long and complex so not for the faint hearted.The quite shocking conclusion is that insulin injections are done incorrectly some 30 - 60% of the time due to lack of proper training by HCPs.Lipohypertrophy is very common which can seriously vary insulin effectiveness and this shows up with CGM as differences between spot readings and blood glucose levels. Variability of readings. This can increase with time of insulin usage as the skin becomes hardened in injection areas.So it is worth taking more care with injections and changing to a completely new injection area if possible. Then start comparing CGM readings with BGM again.If using Android, it is also worth looking at Juggluco.nl as this can show the one minute Libre variations, not just the 15minute smoothed averages as given by Abbott software. It is the one minute values that are used both for spot readings and warnings.</blockquote>
