However, not limited to its functionality, the updated app enabled me to see real-time glucose readings on my smartphone without the need to scani, iii, something that eases the process of glucose monitoring, and this instantly altered my management. I became very diligent again with my monitoring, I was able to see whether I was going low in the night and adjusted management accordingly, after sharing my data with my diabetes nursev. The ability to see my sugars by simply opening my app, has proven to have an overwhelmingly affirmative change on my management and I am feeling much happier and content with my control.
Tech is an endearing friend
I am now 18, and my recent move into the adult world has meant I am now working, and part of the hiring process meant I had to show how I managed my diabetes, and my answer was ‘easily’.
The continuous readings mean no matter how hectic the day is going, I no longer need to spare a few seconds to scan and check my sugars, as they are always available to me and my chosen selection of family membersii, easing my transition into the working world.
I’ve had the FreeStyle Libre 2 system for nearly 3 years, and it’s continuously proven to be an endearing diabetes friend.
