Don't worry I would say your not alone in this thought process. I was exactly the same and having the same results as u. What I would say is don't beat yourself up for testing all the time though that's what it is for.When I first got it i presumed it was instantly going to change my control and result in my sugars being lowered as I could constantly react. I couldn't have been much further from the truth.  What the libre does is gives u a picture of what your sugars are doing. It gives u a clear picture of what foods have what impacts on your levels. It shows what food spikes you. My suggestion as a first port of call would be to stop worrying about reacting to your levels. Stick to your normal regime I.e eat have your  insulin  and react after 4 hours. However keep checking at regular intervals and start examining the results. For example. An hour after breakfast my sugar would be high. After 4 hours it would be back within normal levels. Why well I started understanding cereal and toast caused uncontrollable spikes. Now I have changed to scrambled eggs. I can see the results clearly on my libre. I have also started seeing when my levels rise before bed and in a morning so have tweaked the times of my long acting. This has taken me a couple of months of carefully looking at patterns and food and asking people on here why foods react differently. It is only now I have started understanding it and only now on my 4th sensor am I started to see very slightly positive results.  I am no expert but this would be my advice. Relax on the corrections a bit and start analysing I promise it will be worth it</blockquote>
