[Diabetes-Talk] Freestyle Libre Applying the Sensor Question

[Dan Rathburn]

Thanks for the replies concerning applying the Libre sensor. I have 
successfully impailed myself and let the sensor simmer for an hour. I'm 
hoping I won't have to buy too many more of these things. Why bllod glucose 
became an issue is a long story but I'm glad I'm spared the finger sticks.

Thanks all for the encouragement and Happy Father's Day!

Regards,

Dan



The nice thing about science is that it's true whether you believe in it or 
not.
