I don't really understand why as a BG test, as we are well aware, is only a snapshot and doesn't show any trend data.But I don't think that Abbott recommend a BG test before every insulin dose:'FreeStyle Libre is approved for dosing insulin except in three cases: when hypoglycemic, when glucose is changing rapidly, or when symptoms don’t match the system’s readings. In these cases, Abbott recommends confirming the value with a fingerstick'.Following that guideline would dramatically reduce my usage of sticks. I'd say that 95% of the time I'm happy to dose from the Libre.</blockquote>
