[QUOTE="emmay, post: 1467734, member: 291695"] Hi [USER=383513]@Just_Me_Rachel[/USER] I completely understand what ur going through I started using the libre just after xmas I thought it was brilliant giving me so much information, however I quickly realised that prior to having it I had been living in ignorance of what my sugars were doing, I hadn't realised they went so high after I ate but we're normal by the time I did my next finger test. I then started becoming quite obsessed with my numbers and basically started taking too much insulin and was hypoing 6-7 times a day it was crazy. I went and saw my nurse and told her my frustrations, we agreed that I would keep using libre but only inject at meal times and before bed, since then I have stopped scanning 30/40 times a day I just let my sugars be and corrected. I did that for about two weeks then realised I needed to tack back control so have gone back to Reducing my carbs (70-100g a day) my sugars are now in a much better place and me and my libre are much better friends as she is giving me the numbers I like to see. Hope you get sorted em [/QUOTE]
