[Diabetes-Talk] FreeStyle Libre questions

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I just use Dexcom, and my endo is able to access my readings. I stopped keeping a log since switching to Dexcom a year ago. I know Medicare technically requires a log, which is stupid, but my pharmacy hasn't asked for one in years. Before Dexcom, I used Prodigy Voice and logged my readings, boluses and exercise in a MS Excel spreadsheet. I still use my Prodigy to calibrate Dexcom, but otherwise, don't use it.

Ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
The reason I was asking about that particularr meter was for medicare requierments of a log.

Thanks.
