[Diabetes-Talk] re freestyle libre 2

[Gary-melconian]

I knew that this would happen I told him that what he said oh yeah the 
Apple work with libre too and I said no and I knew that so I went home I 
contacted Abbott and they'll ask them and they said no the app is still 
enough the approval with libretto side to contact them get the prescription 
change from libre to you to libre one and now I'm going to be happy for 
next year because I have I told him to set it up for a year so that way 
I'll have a universal worth of freestyle libre 1 to go with so lesson 
learned always ask and always do a lot of research a lot a lot of doctors 
don't have idea if they think everything works sometimes it works sometimes 
it doesn't work in this case we already know that it was not going to work 
so we'll just have to wait and see when libretti will be available but the 
funny thing is Leroy and libre 3 both are going to be using the same app so 
whatever habit works on in the clinical trials for laboratory it's going to 
be the same for libre too
