For those with diabetes: thoughts on Freestyle Libre CGM?

Thinking about getting this blood glucose monitor so I don’t have to do finger pricks any more. Does anyone on this board use this particular meter?

Type 1? Yes definitely
It still requires calibration by finger prick
Type 2, eat better

The Libre is a very solid CGM, but have you looked into the Dexcom G6? Doesn’t require calibration with finger pricks.

I’m using the Medtronic guardian right now. It’s been very accurate and not very accurate I do t think any CGM will replace finger sticks. Well for Type 1s anyway. We still have to calibrate every 12 hours and you can get wild swings all the time.
