[Diabetes-Talk] I ran

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Dar, hon, no, you use a traditional meter like the Prodigy, then within the
app, you type in the number. The device itself calibrates from there.

Tell me more,
Because Edd never shared this, and how to do it, I would do it.
You stick you finger and put it on the libre dot as I know it?
There is a huge gap with what my finger stick is to the libre numbers.
So I have been writing in notes.
Then would ask my diabetic coordinator?
now I put this on yesterday, that still doesn't matter?
