  1. Cure breakthroughs

  2. Libre cgm. Has 3 been recalled .? Why are they adding a 2 and and a 4
    In the fall ? What do I do until then ?

    • I’m not sure when any new versions will be coming out – just keep using yours. When they have new models, they don’t immediately discontinue the old ones.

  3. Having a really tight time in range was not a good route for me. I am a non-insulin resistant type 2 diabetic that uses mealtime insulin. have had countless lows trying to curve the meal spike to under 140 (too much insulin needed) so i stopped using Lispro and went with a very restrictive diet which worked but at a metabolic price. i ended up losing 25 lbs in a short 2 months which i did not need to (normal BMI). Fast forward i am now using Fiasp for meals, am able to eat better and have dial in the boluses to keep the spikes under 180 and no LOWS!. i also gained back 10 lbs and have better energy levels. Just my experience here.
