[Diabetes-Talk] Freestyle libre availability update

[Veronica Elsea]

Patricia, it's the FreeStyle Libre 2, which does not have an app, which
would make it accessible to us. So if one wanted a Libre which came with
alarms and some new features, we could not use it, the two, because it's the
iPhone app that makes it accessible to us. The iPhone app that comes with
the 14-day model does work. You just don't get those alarms and new stuff
that sighted people can enjoy.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will
have been all of these.
