Wanted: Libre Best Practices for Diabetics

If you are a Freestyle Libre user, you know that this product by Abbott is a Diabetic's best friend, nothing less. As we speak, this continuous blood glucose measurement device is changing the way people manage their diabetic condition. As one experienced mother to a diabetic child put it: "it's like providing eye-sight to a blind person!".

Now, there is a lot to learn and the grassroots adoption of new practices is happening while the medical system is just catching up. So if you are a Libre user, we would like to collect YOUR best practices - in employing the device to spend more time withing the "target range", in recovering from Hypoglycemia, in preparing for physical activity as well as for a good night's sleep, in minimizing the after-meal sugar "spike". What have you discovered? what works well for you? what is missing? also are happy to hear success (and failure) stories.

Naturally, none of this sharing should be taken as medical advice.
