I feel like your partner is possibly going through some kind of unaddressed form of diabetes burn out. I would urge you to get him seen by his team to have care put into place because he is high and running high isn’t fun for himself and you. I unfortunately feel like libre or CGM would overhelm him with data, like he wouldn’t know what to do and possibly react to every number or feel worse by seeing he is high all the time. With the libre, he would need to scan to get a result and with a CGM, you’ll get a reading every 5 mins. But it does help ease his mind or anyone else’s mind of having to finger prick everyday. He would need to be educated by his diabetes team like a carb counting course to possibly understand his data. A carb counting course would definitely be a starting point in trying to identify if his basal rates are correct and help with insulin for food. For the mental side of things, professional help is a simple talk with his team and his team can refer him for help or a trip to his GP.</blockquote>
