[QUOTE="TimLibre, post: 2680920, member: 532658"] They could also make it for an android watch i wouldnt care. Not going into apple/android discussions here. But when i started using libre 3 ‘normal’ readers were not even available and abbot primarily focussed on its app. Benefits of a watch app would be to be able to monitor your bg way better. But also for example when playing football, jogging, or any other kind of sports it is not so convenient to have your phone with you in your pocket. While sports are precisely the moments most people would want to monitor their bg a bit. Thirdly an alarm on apple watch is far more discrete than the libre app alarms on your phone, which alerts/wakes up not only you but the full room of people you’re in. But going back on topic, i hardly do any finger pricks anymore. When i started to use the libre 1 system, for the first weeks i would check still every day. But after a while i didnt bother anymore as the libre readers were good enough for me. Today, only at moments were the libre sensors are obviously acting strange, or if I feel differently then the value indicated, i do a finger prick, but thats rarely. For example on holiday after having a swim in the sea, they sometimes act strangely. So even if i dont finger prick a lot, i make sure i have the possibility to do so. Having said that, i saw some people complaing about the Libre 2’s accuracy a while ago, (and dont know if those problems are fixed now). So maybe its good to double monitor for a while if you just start using the system. Im using libre 3 now for some years and its totally accurate in most cases. [/QUOTE]
