[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1962161, member: 374531"] Yeah, it helps a lot. Libre is good on its own but if you're running it to xDrip+ on android or Spike on Iphone through blucon or miaomiao, the more detailed graphs, predictive simulations, alerts etc really take it to a new level. My a1c was about 50 when I started libre 2 yrs ago, got blucon about 18 months ago, a1c has dropped to 42, 39, 36, then to 28. That sounds ridiculously low, but I've honestly just had a grand total of 2 mild cold sweat hypos and 1 neuroglycopenic "fuzzy" hypo in 2 yrs now. The thing which makes a big difference in lowering a1c is setting hyper alarms, so that instead of spending hours sleeping through a 10 to 15 range, you get woken up at, say, 7.8 or whatever you set it at, so you can then make a judgment call on whether 1 or 2 u would be a good idea to stop it edging up towards above 10. Injecting 2u without food at 2am to bring down a trend towards 10 sounds crazy, but you can set up any number of hypo alerts to pick you up if you drop to 5 or 6 or whatever. There's a couple of good books on kindle which helped me a lot with how to use cgm properly: Sugar Surfing, Stephen Ponder Beyond Fingersticks, William Lee Dubois The Dubois one is 10 yrs old, so a bit out of date, but it's still got lots of good basic cgm principles in it. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
