Emergency Supplies for Diabetics and a few places to keep them
Just skip this piece of crap. Errors, errors, errors... Sorry Abbott, it is not us, it is you Abbott. Lke those 1. 6 billion $ sue for sellling generative drugs like originals for at least ten time bigger price.
Does anyone know if its covered by insurance because 224 is a little high?
Thank you for the demonstration. Very helpful to see a demonstration of proper application and function. I am soon to be a new user. Lori
Same. Getting mine tomorrow
Thank you, that helps😊
Hi Kristen this is Logan I follow you on your UA-cam channel and my aunt is using that libre of what are you using I thought you have a Dexcom and I understand all the burnout faces and everything and I saw the video about you changing your Omnipod and you did so great on your UA-cam videos
Where did you get it
Does black tube on sensor lay flat o skin or straight into skin
Libre 3 is better and smaller. No need to scan evertime.
Thank you so very much I was changing mine for the first time. I was feeling anxious about it your video made me relaxed . 😊❤
It just doesn’t stay on well but I love it constantly shows and is checking for me.
I love the dexcom sensors
Hi. I know this maybe a silly question. I am getting my first libre soon and im worried about putting the sensor on/ Does it hurt?
Hi. Thanks for making this video This make my wife calm. Waiting for the sensor to arrive tomorrow
This is way out of date. Major differences with the newer version
Wear should you put your sensa they say you can't have it at the side of your arm to put it under your arm why
I am 4 months into using mine. I always get nervous on change day/ have saved your video to help me refresh when I need. But it's helped me stabilise my bs and I feel better for it.
Thank you so much for making & sharing this video. I’ve had my sensor (Libre 3) for 11-12 days now. Sometimes it drives me bonkers. lol. But I am adjusting to it (the app that is) the sensor itself I don’t feel and forget that it’s there. Just trying to learn it. I needed this video because I was wondering how to take it off to change it. You make it look easy and fairly quick. And let’s not forget painless. lol. I didn’t realize the needle was even there until after and then I learned of it and made myself sick with wonder but it didn’t hurt and I’m just hoping that when I change it that the new one is painless also. Cause that needle really freaked me out. Again thank you so much. I’ll be catching more of your videos!
I had my dr do it first...next time I will be doing it myself...and about the plastics, try to remove the needle, with plyers, and put it in your sharps box.
How do you hook this to your smartphone
this thing is so expensive i had to go with the monitor reader thing instead of the phone after filling 2 mos prescription. the reader was expensive as well .
Thanx for the video! Just getting started and this gave me the info I need and you made it easy
mine came off after 8 days
Is their only one time use for the applicator? How do you know, I have freestyle 2. My box say there are 2 in my box but I can’t get the applicator to take the 2nd one.
How did it go? What are you working with now?
Lol...love the growling doggie in the back ground
Can you get it wet on shower
Thank You 😊
Put the new one on 24 hrs before taking the old one off. Then switch your phone to the new sensor and continue without any interruption. Not my idea, someone else on UA-cam suggested this. Sounds brilliant. Hey my sensor, my 1st one it was a trial shipment, didn't come with any alcohol wipes. Hmmm.
Thank you it’s very helpful than I thought.
Thanks so much for your video
Hello I just received my Freestyle Libre 2 , I am a Type 2 diabetic. Thank you so much for your instructions it helped me immensely!!!! Janet CA
the pharmacy gave me a libre 2 scanner/meter with 14 day sensors and the scanner says this sensor cannot be used with this reader. do you know if this is correct? and what app do you use on the phone with the 14 day sensors?
you are the best thank you
Thx Great teaching.
Thank you very easy with your directions your great
Thank you so much you taught me well I appreciate you
I have just started my first Libre 2
I would like to know how to get the reader able to read a new sensor if the old one still has 13 days left??? I was told by the company to remove the sensor on my arm and put the new sensor on. It would work. The scan new sensor line did not come on the screen. Do I have to wait til 13 days are over???
What do i do with the used sensor? Can i throw it in the trash?
Thanks - the nurse put my first one on 2 weeks ago so this is the first time I’m applying it at home. Really helpful to watch you go through the process in detail. Thank you!
You’re wonderful. Thanks for all your videos. Hoping some day soon you’ll update how things are going now in 2023. Thanks again 🙏🏻✨
Thank you so much! I couldn't find anything in the box on how to remove it. It really doesn't hurt at all! I'm still learning. I wish I had taken my glucose prior to the 60-minute wait time! And, my meter is iffy, better than nothing I guess. Thanks again😊
How much does the sensor cost
I'm on my 1st one now and was wondering about replacing it with a new one after 14 days, and your video is perfect. I'm glad I seen it. Thanks for taking time to make this video.
very helpful!
Hi Isidore get a scanner. Do I need one.
Sometimes when I put on the sensor my arm bleeds and the sensor will not stick
How long does the battery last
Just wondering it is accurate compared to the old method of pricking?
I have a 14 day sensor, but don't have the reader, need to use my phone. My phone is an android. Would u know which app I need use.
