I am just wondering if any libre users could advise? Could I reasonably trial the libre using a single sensor and downloading the app to my Samsung phone (with NFC)? Would I be missing out on anything important by not buying the reader or is the experience the same?
I don't care about people seeing me in public (I work/study from home) using the phone. It's more that if I buy a single sensor - it will be £50 outlay for the trial whereas if I buy the reader and sensors it will be £140 for the trial. But if not buying the reader means I would be getting a poorer experience of the benefits of the tech then I suppose I could just buy it.
I just want to see if I would find the libre useful for getting my blood sugars under control. I am insulin dependent and my hba1cs have gone from 6s to high 8s this past year as I have been testing less. I was thinking of the Libre as a way to increase my motivation/interest in managing my sugars/diet.
