I’m rather happy to say I’ve not had an a1c change with the libre, but super happy with it. I find it inaccurate at times, especially when I get up from laying down, it’ll stay low for like an hour even if my blood sugar isn’t.

I test before meals or if I get a really weird reading, so at least three finger sticks a day still. I still feel it gives me insight, but it’s also a pain in the butt.
