There's some misinformation floating around here. Let me set this straight.

The days of finger pricks are now gone and forgotten. I'm using the Libre 3 with my smartphone. The results are incredible, enlightening, and will change your life for the better. All diabetics should be using a CGM. I randomly do a finger prick to compare with the CGM. Last nights Libre 3 reading was 142, a blood prick was 140. The Libre 3 is incredibly accurate. Each sensor lasts 14 days. There is no such thing as charging. You stick it on and forget it. You can't feel it and you will forget it's there. Then with the LibreView application your blood history is continually sent to your physician of choice so they have full records. Of course you have access to the LibreView website and the amount of information there will astound you. So keep informed, get set up with a CGM with your primary and start to enjoy your life with more information than you can handle. Libre 3 is changing my life. With Medicare I don't pay a dime. Everyone DO THIS. If you have questions I'm here.

I find that accuracy with my Libre 3 falls firmly on the “your mileage may vary” realm. Mine is often 50 points high - and in such way that it can’t be attributed to delay between blood and skin. I find it useful for trends and getting a rough idea where I’m at. But the blood test is still needed for me.

Thanks for clarifying and the info

I was told Medicare would not pay unless you take insulin. I do not, but would love to have one but without insurance, I really can’t afford one.
