[QUOTE="Key_master_, post: 1564018, member: 381523"] I disagree, the complications come from us being taught the rubbish we are, the lousy drugs we are given and lack of education. I'm sick of the sugar coated nonsense we are taught and read from our health organisations that are blatantly coining it in and making a career out of keeping us all needing to see them like we do with no re avail and reliant on dangerously high doses of insulin or other drugs like statins. Earlier reading on here someone on nearly 300 units a day. After using the libre free for two weeks I self funded for another 2 months. In the first week, picked up on low carb via dr Bernstein, within 3 weeks hb1ca predicted at 5.4 was a 8.6 last test 1 month before. I always carb counted, avoided fast food, ate whole gran low gi foods. would have one treat a week of take away. Lowest sugar/fat one there is. Very hard and wouldn't dream of eating any now. (I changed that not the libre that was accurate only some of the time meaning finger pricks are nessasary still) A libre may help us get on the right track to start with but that's all it's good for. Showing us patterns that's when they are accurate enough. it will not stop the statistics of the people with our disease who are uneducated or just ignore what we have and just eat what they want and drink alcohol in the amounts that some diabetics do. I've witnessed this first, second and third hand in my life. [/QUOTE]
