Im starting with the sensor, but i have tattoos in the specific area of aplication. Its a trouble, i dont understand if i can put on the tattoos o i need to choose another place in the arm . thanks

Thank you for the video 💗🌷

Thank u so much my 1st time 😊

Can anyone tell me where can I put the sensors after having scars all over on my upper arm? I’m almost running out of the space on my arms and that only site I can put according to the manual.

Get out and walk, climb stairs..movement is medicine.

BEST HACK VIDEO EVER

When I was eating my normal meal, meat with rice, or roast potatoes or white bread followed by a bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce or some other dessert also eating normal milk chocolate my morning fasting blood sugar level was around 8.5-8.7. I have since cut out all carbs, no potatoes, rice, bread and as well as all desserts and all the food I eat has a GI below 50, I find that my morning fasting blood sugar level is around 8.5-8.7. No difference!. Might as well go back to eating what I liked.

using the libre 3 for better than 60 days, i have not had any issues. with android.

I haven't had any issues with a sensor falling off, or coming undone. They shut down after 6 to 8 days. Says it can no longer read the sensor, put on a new one. At the rate mine are failing like this, my 3 month supply of sensors will be gone in 5 weeks. Insurance says too soon to request next batch.

The FreeStyle Libre 3 does come with a Reader. I just purchased Libre 3 after using 2 for a while. I didn't use my iphone because with the Libre 2 if the sensor wasn't compatiable you couldn't rescan. I do have to take the reader with me but it beats taking test strips, the test strip reader and alcohol pads and then having to prick my finders multiple times. I love the cgm. I have used the Dexcom and found it easier to use but my insurance pays for the Libre 3 only. I am on insulin and I sometimes have lows and I am glad for the alarms.

Those are boring snacks

Thank you for this information, it really gives me support and motivation. Sametime, I really suffer from Anxiety and any feeling I feel from my body it really worries me.

whats uk equivalent ?

Great information. Thank you so much!

I have had the pump for three weeks now and the only problem I had was in the evening I would go low how ever, I’m not the typical type 2 diabetic so what I did -after consulting with my doctor was deceased my weight by 5 pounds and the pump works flawlessly.I highly recommend recommend this pump

How much

My doctor just recommended this to me today. I hadn't heard of it. I've always been MDI, so I am a bit hesitant to try a pump. This looks like a really cool alternative!

This guy loves to talk. He takes more than 10 minutes to make 60 seconds worth of points. 1. Alarm flexibility. Oh No! Can't shut off the extreme low alarm on the phone <shudder> 2. Scanning simpliity. Oh No! I have to unlock my phone! 3. Scanning reliability. Sometimes the scan fails on [his] phone.

You need to update this video with any new information please.

This video was very helpful! Thank you so much!

Be careful about your phone’s operating system. Mine upgraded and now it’s no longer compatible with the sensor. I’m on iOS 7.4. The highest compatible system is 7.3.03. What are you supposed to do about that?!

The Libre is potentially dangerous. The results are delayed, often wrong, the arrows are totally random (and could easily be fixed by looking at previous results) and it costs the NHS far too much for its ONLY use... retrospective graphs. Don't listen to the excuses that people give for this. It's a flawed device for use in tracking your current blood sugar. It's ONLY use is for retrospective graphs.

Does anyone 'need' a snack before bed? Sounds like you didn't eat enough at dinner. Tough it out for crying out loud.

I'm interested in the differences in min/max readings of the 2 sensors. Using the roller coaster analogy, in the difference between either cgm a difference in timing or is there an actual difference in range? I see how timing would matter for those on insulin but those trying to stay off meds need to know the range to find out if there's an actual problem. A1c only gives an average and could hide large spikes. As an aside, do you have a recommendation for a finger stick is inexpensive and accurate?

Just started using the g7. Day one I was getting readings 20% higher than a finger stick by day 4 they are typically 1:1 I hate the receiver though because the graph is impossible read

Do you have a recipe book with meals? You are the most interesting and informed person I have met on this subject; I came across you by accident and I am so very glad! Thank you for your kind response. Kari

My fix it myself work well for years. Very low carb, no sugar, Berberin and Vinegar. Lots of exercise etc. Then I had to go on Metformin and it helped for a couple years then suddenly my fasting shot up to 170-200 and stayed there. Dr added Basal Insulin one shot per day now fasting is 90 perfect but still I avoid carbs and no sugar ever. So do what you can naturally but along the way meds have their place. My goal is to just do Basal and super low carb and exercise and hope to never need mealtime Insulin shots.

Thank you. I have been trying to get a CGM for 13 years and only recently got in 2023. But the insurance tried to get me to take freestyle 14 without a reader because they were no longer being made. So, I had to argue to get a freestyle 2 and reader for every reason you stated that I didn't know, but what argued. Because the most important thing that you said was ease of use. Because I, too, test myself 10 to 18 times a day. And because a smart device has too many functions, it means that having a devoted device is important. Now, if it could be paired with a reader and a phone so you can actually keep a record of readings on the phone and make it easier to transfer to your medical file, it would be nice. Because I have not yet been able to transfer all my readings into my medical file because my clinic doesn't have the ability to take that info. The best advice I have been given to get that info to my file is right it down by hand and hand in. So, transferring the info into my medical file should be the next video about CGMs. Because yes, I have an easy way to monitor my sugars is great but if it does get into my medical file, it does nothing to help my doctor see the daily trouble I have. My daily readings look like a sign wave because I am trying to stabilize myself to work a full-time job because they say Type 1 is not a permanent disability. So, having to jump through hoops trying to prove I can't work 40 hours a week. Any words I can say to my doctors to listen to me that most of my day is just trying to stabilize my sugars? Thank you for your validation of why using an App and smartphone is dangerous when you need a reading in a sec, not 10 or 20 seconds, and needing eyes on a screen rather than just a push of button and read. Plus, a reader can be used by not just you. If you pass out, someone can read you and not have to worry if your phone is locked. So, we need to have a reader 1st and smartphone as a backup and storage device, not as the main use. My opinion. I haven't learned how to transfer all the info from my reader to a Word file. Any advice to get my read info into my medical file so my doctor knows what I am dealing with daily?

1:57 Just a minor correction, but the guardian sensors (including the 4th) are not guaranteed to last up to 7 days. They're supposed to last up to 6-to-7 days according to their technical support when I had phoned in. However, from my own experience, they only lasted up to 4-to-5 days and always gave major inaccurate readings (sometimes *hundreds* of points in difference), sometimes refusing calibrations and not allowing me to give myself insulin at times due to said attempts at calibration (first attempt it has you wait 15 minutes before attempting another calibration, however if it doesn't like that reading neither it makes you wait 2-to-3 *hours* before you can attempt *again*, wasting test strips). The final straw was the terrible experience with technical support not understanding that the machine nearly overdosed me twice with the pump due to the sensor's constant inaccuracies. Their "6-day algorithm" is massively flawed. Months ago, I had spoken with my endo and I'm much happier on the DexCom G7. Never going back to Medtronic's technologies.

nice info

I just finished doing an experiment wearing both the G7 and the Libre 3 to see the accuracy between the 2 devices. (Sample of the Libre 3 from endocrinologist) The G7 was the most accurate. You may have to calibrate it during the 10 days. The Libre 3 you can’t calibrate. I was getting extreme fluctuations within minutes. Low alert for 54. Then one minute later back to 87 (while standing or sitting) there was nothing putting pressure on the Libre. I would have 15-20 random reading in the 40’s and 50’s. While the G7 was consistently giving accurate readings; confirmed with finger pricks. The Libre3 was so inaccurate I removed it 4 days early. I previously used the Libre 2 for several years. Then moved to the G7 since it was released. So I have experience and understand how to use the devices correctly.

Thank you so much I really appreciate your tips on this!

But if you use reader, you have to upload data to your doctor while the phone you don't need to upload data as the data goes to doctor directly.

What if you don't have any "fatty" areas on any part of your arm. I'm very muscular with very little body fat...does this mean the fibre needle will always be bent when attached and I'll always get poor readings? I've tried to apply one and the fibre needle bent...

30 secs too late

I have just started with my freestyle libre here and Ive got mine on the back of my right arm. I am so impressed byt how accurate it is :) ( I did a finger stick test here it was 5.8 and then I did a scan that was 5.0 :) And my very first scan was 7.7 on my reader and the blood stick test was 7.5!! very happy here :)

I have freestyle 3 having very hard time with it staying on. Have to put one on every few days. Doing something wrong. I guess watched your apt we do all that but not glue. So going to try that. Wakes me up 3 or 4 times a night but not low take it manually and fine 108 when it says 59

Thank you for the info.

Guys I am experiencing significant worry and anxiety because my father was diagnosed with diabetes today. He has an intense aversion to injections and is refusing to take them. Can diabetes be cured? The doctor mentioned that it might be curable, but it's not certain. I feel deeply sorry about the situation. He is extremely fearful of this disease and is very saddened by the diagnosis. Oh, my poor dad.

Take at Room temperature Not reusing Switching insulin Choosing the correct needle size Let the alcohol dry

Tried G7, went back to G6. G7 was wildly inaccurate compared to G6. G7 almost felt like Libre 1 accuracy.

How does the new Simplera connect to the pump, manually or automatically?

I have diabetes type 1😢😢

I'm good I will put that money into something else healthy to eat

hI ave used Libre 3 for 2 years now and never had a sensor fall off..even after a bath or a shower..If i get a low blood sugar alarm on my Libre 3 app I ALWAYS double check my bloods with my Gluco RX and carry out a finger prick test (which is more accurate) and adjust my insulin accordingly.I never soley rely on Libre 3.

Been on G7 for a while now and always put the new one on for hours before change and do better job than just change right away. :)

The 30 minute time is not accurate. I've used multiple sensors of the G7 and it takes longer than that. More like 45 minutes to an hour. False advertising.

Hello my mom is disagnosed i want to be able to help her. She already taught me how to read her sugar and how much she needs to be stabe again. But i want to better at the injection part. Still learning
