[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1969258"] Hello [USER=499246]@Morto15[/USER] Welcome to the forum. I've been using a Libre for a few months now and it can add lots of info to how you control your diabetes and I think for you in the environment you work and the bike it will be great. Overall they are great for trends but accuracy can be a little hit or miss with them also it seems that a few of us place them around the body and can get more or less accuracy again experiment is the key. You will still need to use your finger prick test kits because if you move out of the 4 to 10mmol mark, I find that it can be unpredictable so always worth finger pricking if you think it is not right :) Some of us either blucon or MioMiao which is a Bluetooth transmitted which will connect to either iPhone or Andriod from which you can use Spike, for IOS or Glimp, xDrip for Andriod, they are all slightly different flavours of the same thing but give you the ability to "calibrate" which can be great. HMMM!!!!! Think I might have "info over loaded" you :) Come join on the fun in the Type 1 Stars R Us thread . [/QUOTE]
