I have posted a thread about the fact that it has become very dominating in my life. If algorithms don’t calculate properly it wakes me in the night, i was in Norfolk recently with no coverage and even my pump and sensor did not communicate till I got home! That was very stressful. It bleeps at me a lot which I don’t like as it might not be a place where I want say I have a pump! On a positive note I have had better Time in Range for longish periods than before, but this is informed over a 24hr hr period so changes regularly if you get a high b/s or low b/s and when all is working well it’s quiet and does its job!  Also another thing I stress out every week when I have to change the sensor! Sometimes this does not work straight away and if you get timings wrong in doing this that can be a problem as you have to wait 2 hrs for it to warm up as you may have to calibrate! You need to always take your blood. Testing kit as it regularly ask you to che k BG and if you don’t have it it goes out of smartguard and your stuck. All in all I do feel like a guinea pig and I feel it had dominated my life with diabetes which never happened before! I’m not sure whether to return to old system with Libre2 until it can be worked to be more discreet!</p></blockquote><p></p>
