For me getting a Libre3 was the answer. I can now see exactly what each food does to my BG in real time. I know some people have all sort of reasons they wouldn't wear one or why they quit wearing one. Personally unless I just put it on I would have to feel the back of my arms just to tell you what arm it is on.
I wish you the best staying healthy for your wonderful wife.  |
Thank you for sharing and for the kind words! I wish the same to you and everyone else. When we’re young, we enjoy life and have no boundaries. When we get old, we pay the price.
