Just heard of these devices a few days ago and have struggled through the Life with Libre page. Struggled because i dont yet really understand when I prick my fingers, why most mornings its low and then suddenly spikes, for example. Still a noob understanding T2.
Saw someone say they thought all those newly diagnosed with diabetes should wear one for at least 3 months. From what I have read in that thread, I am not sure i would even understand what the readings would be telling me.
Would that be a normal reaction at my stage and/or only best for those that really understand this disease, or would it force me to grasp all of this quicker than I seem to be doing?
Last, I wish I could tell how many T2'rs specifically that have used this device, either still keep using it because they really believe in it, or was the purchase and usage just down to shinyitis, a new toy, etc?
