Here in the US, we heard from D-Dad Jason Peters in Illinois, whose 10-year-old son had started with Dexcom’s CGM five years ago but they didn’t have faith in its accuracy. The ease of use and alarms made a big difference in his life, Burren says, and he’d still be using Libre now if it weren’t for the cost and the fact that it isn’t covered in his national health plan.Īcross Europe, where the Libre has been available longer, there’s a LOT of online discussion about hacks to use the Libre as a fully featured CGM - like this one from Diabetes Views with a lot of detail including tips for extending the phone’s battery life. He started out just using the Abbott gear, and then tried the BluCon Nightrider gig for a while as well. He used the Libre in Australia for roughly 16 months, including feeding the data into xDrip and into his own OpenAPS rig. “It’s just another example of people using medical products in the real world, and finding real-world solutions to integrate the Libre product into their diabetes management.” “The name ‘Libre Geeks’… seems appropriate,” says type 1 David Burren in Australia.
