Changed my life.

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.

Ok, so a ton of us use social media sites to communicate and there seems to be these annoying adds all the time. Well this is the first time I am so glad that they were there! While surfing I saw an add for the FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor system. At first I was like, ya right, probably just a scam or something. My curious nature got the better of me so I decided to take a closer look. I even got my husband to find out if it was ligit and it was. Let me tell you how it felt opening the first box. I was full of hope and felt the possibility of the pressure of picking myself multiple times trying to get that small amount of blood for the temperamental strip to test the level of sugars lift away. Seriously there were times, since I work constantly creating art with my hands, I would have to prick myself 2-3-4-5 times just to get the sample!! Well the first time I was a bag of nerves. Would it hurt? Is it really a needle? What if I accidently rip it off? Lots of questions. For me it didn't hurt at all. If anything I didn't even feel it go in. Just the slight pressure of it attaching to my skin by the circle of sticky thin cloth like material. They say to place it on the back of the arm. So I did. First night when changing for bed I hit it with my shirt and I was s$@& out of luck. Had to go straight into my sharps bin. So more research online and I found other sites to place the sensor on me and still get accurate readings. Girls, I 1 million percent say you have to try! I can scan many times a day without the lancets and strips. The data goes into graphs, charts and so much more so you can learn how what you eat affects your body as we are all uniquely different. Just change it every 14 days for a new sensor. It's waterproof for up to 30 mins. You can scan over your clothing! All you need is pop the reader in your purse and you are good to go take on the world. It takes part of the worry that comes with diabetes off of you so you can concentrate on the other parts of the illness so we can all kick it's butt together!! :)
