Prediabetes Testing New Foods

Interestingly it is now being said that the GP’s will not be able to spout rubbish anymore owing to the arrival of the Libre.

It's your call as always, but not everyone, including myself, has a consistent experience with the Libre, and had I noit had an idea where my bloods might be expected to be, I would have been very confused.

Some people find the Libre aligns very nicely with their finger prick tests. Mine rarely do.

For example, the Libre consistently estimates my Aic to be between 19 and 21, whereas my labs are consistently about 10 above that.

As I say it's utterly your choice.

But if it's consistent, is the pattern you see similar but just at a different level? Because that's what I saw when using the Libre, similar (but obviously more detailed) patterns just different figures.

If it's consistent, then the trends still apply and have fabulous value.

Personally, I've had some real doozies where sensors have just read all over the shop; one minute very high, then flat lining in the low 2s. I'm not going back to check, but probably 50% of my sensors have been replaced by Abbott, due to their "curious" activity.

I still love it, but I wouldn't get carried away with it.

‘Trends’ is the key word there.
