8th Wonder of the World

Just found out about this after many years of being diabetic. I was never one to prick finger and smear blood…just wasn’t me! Love this invention!

Really poor app

The product team needs to do a better job. First time using the Libre app and it’s a 2/10. Super unclear…

A) when the latest reading was taken
B) what the value was (chart on first reading is not clear…is it really a round number like 350…has to be incorrect
C) there is no obvious “take a new reading button”
D) there is no obvious “connected to sensor” status info
E) there is no built in timers/reminders to take a reading
FI can’t use 2 phones for the same account (makes no sense)

Really poor

Sad

I have been so grateful for Libre letting me know what my blood is without having to prick my finger. But lately it has been inaccurate and very disappointing. I hope I don’t have to go with another brand.

Not reading according

Not reading my sugars right

Not enjoying so far

I like the earlier Libre app better. This one doesn’t seem to have a logbook where you can look at your various entries such as insulin or carbs or exercise or see if you’ve had any alerts - all in one screen. We’ll probably go back to the earlier version as soon as I finish this sensor.
