Libre 3 is fascinating.
they really made a difference.
we went from ~15 barbaric finger poking blood tests a day to nothing!
plus trends and all other insights you get on the graph.
it's just unbelieavable.
i dont like minimed. however robost a pump it is. i dont appreciate the tubing and stuff. to me, a tubeless pump is such an obvious necessity.
and evidently, a closed loop would be the ultimate thing for now.
Libre 3 is relatively cheap too. if only NHS would contract with them instead of the pricey old tech dexcom 1. call me a cynic but you see, when Libre 3 is out there with lower price at ~competitive MARD but NHS goes to dexcom instead and signs a contract to buy lots of old generation dexcom, (i dont know how to put it diplomatically) it looks like a behind the curtains deal of 'hey, ima buy that old sh#@ from you.....).
im hoping the general attitude of nhs's which is like 'we are gonna provide better control for patients to save $$ on later complications' which is really fantastic and indicating a great deal of understanding on their part, hopefully leads them to realized they gotta provide closed loop for people and cut back even further on the future costs of complications.
it's a no-brainer really.
