[Diabetes-Talk] I ran

[d m gina]

At this time there is a large difference in readings from finger stick 
to reading with phone.
I have no clue how to fix problem,
that was one of the reasons why I walked away the first time because I 
didn't know there was a way to work it out.

> I went back to the libre yesterday.

> I bought them for the libre when I was using the unit.
> You scare me when you folks are having so many problems with the dex com.
> I am so sorry.
> I do hope this libre will work better for me this time.
> I was able to go back to my account put in a pass word and off I go.
> It took rite away, and started working with in the hour.
> Now the numbers do read high so I felt it was getting used to my body.
> I felt I needed to do something because of getting on the different insulin

> I can check it now with out sticking my fingers.
> I hope insurance will start to realize we also need devices to use the same
