I watched this a number of months ago. It has worked so well for me, I had to come back and say thanks.
Thanks

I was wondering about the alarm. I didn't realize it was sending data over bluetooth. Good video. Informative and helpful. Thanks.

[TheAmaia]

Thank you so much! Just applied my first sensor thanks to your guidance! :)

[griffin]

This was so useful! I'm a new Libre user (for gestational diabetes) and didn't know that there's just the filament that stays in the arm.

[TheBernie]

I make my husband do it for me and I scream at the top of my lungs just so I can laugh at him 🤣

[tonyn]

Thank you my friend very helpful with how to put my first sensor on. I was a little confused. Tony leicestershire uk, )

[cliftonflynn]

Thank you, I am new at this and I have learned a lot how to use a freestyle from you

[pinksandvibes]

So useful and quick video!!! I am i think pre-diabetic. I do have always symptoms 1-2 hours after eating and i do get anxiety before eating because i do feel weird after eating and hard to explain and it takes another 1, 5-2 hours symptoms to stop!

[carolmutiso]

Great video as always. I just wish these providers would make it easier for people like me in Kenya to purchase!

[sachipou]

Thanks. This helped a lot with my father

I just commented on another video, was super nervous but got there in the end, literaly felt nothing of a needle thankfully, just hope it gives a good reading since the sensor expired in may. Took me a while to get around to setting it up

Hi, in your info you state that in the US they us freestyle Libra 2 everywhere where else in the world they use Libra Link, FYI Canadians use the Freestyle Libra 2 as well. Im Canadian and use Freestyle Libra 2! Thank you your information has been very helpful to me😊

[alexpcrepairs]

Been following your videos since the Freestyle Libre 1, great job on giving us all the info. I live in US and can't wait to get Freestyle Libre here in the states. I don't know why Abbott keep so hush on the actual release date and when pharmacies will carry it.

I have little to no fat in my arms, so often, when i put it in my right arm, i feel the sensor and it hurts for the whole 2 weeks. Doesn’t happen on my left (right being my main arm). Do you have any tip?

[PickaBass]

hi there, you get wrong when you said that you can't use at the same time the device and the phone. You Can use both, if you start the sensor whit device first and than scan with the phone and a message will appear that, you are able to use both. hope this help✌️

[kudzaishaunmacheka]

can you use the applicator twice say you pressed it on something somehow? like placing it back in the sensor pack?

[hayleyrecord]

How do you fit the 2nd sensor. Because the blue part of the unit is inside. How do you pick up the next sensor that is in the pack?

[_-sub_rls]

The needle scared me thinking it was staying in my skin

[karlyfriesen]

Can you please do a new review on the libre 3?? More in-depth? I’m impatiently waiting for it to come to Canada! It was fda approved in the states recently so hopefully Canada will be soon!!
