[Diabetes-Talk] Freestyle Libre

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

I have used them both-- Libre doesn't even come close to the DEXAcom. Which
you can use connected to your iPhone and also alert you of lows and highs.
The Libre will not do either of that. It will also not keep up  if your
blood sugar is going up quickly or going down quickly. It will give you
wrong glucose numbers
I anticipate that it will be a good product after they fix these issues.
