I got this as soon as it became available in Ontario via ODSP. The application was so simple, I didn't actually have to do anything. My pharmacy faxed my Endo, and boom, I was set up.
I'd basically stopped testing my sugars at all, my fingers were too sore, and I couldn't bring myself to prick them anymore.
The first time I applied the sensor, I didn't even feel it, and it worked flawlessly for the whole 2 weeks.
A few months in, and I wish they stuck a little better, and there was some sort of way to mark where you wanted to put it, that wouldn't stain or affect the sticky. I have ripped a few out of my arm, either by walking into doors/walls, or putting on a sweater the wrong way. That sucked.
The app is great. The meter is great. I don't use the site that much, but I always mean to.
Sometimes I get a day or two in a row where the meter or app doesn't work, but so far, one has always been working.
Finally remembering to take my insulin after meals, and check my sugars after doing my exercises.
Changed my life. I love it.    -
