Doing it ‘scared’

Traveling, trials, and tribulations
About six weeks ago I was approached by Abbot here in the US to trial their new Freestyle Libre System. They sent me two free sensors and a reader and asked me to post on social media and here on the blog about my honest opinion of the product. As some of you know I have used the Freestyle Libre system in Australia and … Read More Traveling, trials, and tribulations
