[Diabetes-Talk] re libre 2

[Jeanette Kutash]

For those of you who are so quick to judge the freestyle libre negatively even though you have not used it ever, please remember this. Many of us have used it successfully, with accurate readings in line with our finger sticks according to the information in the literature. And many of us would not qualify for Dexcom and certainly could not afford it if we vbought out of pocket because it is much more expensive. In the same way I should not judge the Dexcom because I have not used it. And much depends on what insurances will and will not cover. Both products have much merit and both are important in this market and we should be working together to keep both in the forefront and both on the market because both have their place.

I'm going to just leave it at that I don't want to go any further everybody will use what they need to use it is good that there's options out there and that a lot of people can take advantage of these ecgm systems to manage your diabetes even better than finger pricks from the olden days that's all I was saying I'll just leave it at that thanks for listening and understanding and anyways we'll see how things go and I'll just do my thing and I'll just follow what's going on in this list going forward I want to leave my grievances or anything here I'll just leave things to myself thank you take care
