![]() It’s the size of a penny ! Did you notice any improvements in your diabetes management, like your blood sugar levels, as you upgraded from product to product over the years? Whereas in the past, you used to have to scan to see what the actual number is. Or, you know, if you’re high or low-you still get those alerts, but you don’t have to scan to see the number. In the past, when you’d be driving, you’d have to try and get to the app and whatever! Now you just literally pull your phone out, and it’s right there. The number one benefit is that you don’t have to scan anymore like you did with the Libre 14-Day model to see your glucose reading. What benefits have you experienced so far with the upgrade? We heard that you recently switched from the Freestyle Libre 2 to the new Libre 3. People were saying it was even more accurate than the others-so I knew I needed to give it a try!
