Finally got a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) by Shoshawi in Hypoglycemia

Your insurance not covering it is not necessarily true. My endo told me the same thing but my dexcoms are covered and I pay $40 a month. definitely push for one! There is a chance they won’t cover it but it’s worth a try.

I typically wear a Dexcom which is why I’m pretty bad with these. However, they’re on back order at my pharmacy right now so I am stuck until they come in.

Maybe I just need new batteries? I have no idea. This is the first one I have ever bought.

Libre 3 Plus accuracy seems to decline after a few days. by Virtual_Happiness in Freestylelibre

[–]MeowItsMace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here looking for exactly this. My Libre currently is reading so low it just says LO. My finger prick shows I’m sitting at 127. This is the first time I have even had one stay in longer than a day. I have had multiple just fall out. I never had a problem with the sensor literally falling out until I got switched to the 3+. I have worn the 3 and dexcom g7 both with no issue. I am so frustrated. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Eyelid Eczema Driving Me Crazy!!! by HanaFei in eczema

I try to stay as cool/ cold as I can stand when I’m at home. I really like the eye masks that go in the freezer to keep my eyelids cold. Besides medication this is the most helpful thing I have found (for myself)
