yes, tiny needle. This isnt testing blood. Its barely subsurface on the skin. Freestyle Libre Pro and Freestyle Libre use subcutaneous, wired enzyme glucose sensing technology to detect glucose levels in interstitial fluid I do the finger prick every other day. I'm normally in the 100 range but every now and then get a 115 or 120.

Loving my new continuous glucose monitor. My numbers in just a few days have become incredible. Admittedly, I avoided testing my glucose for years. Just dumb. Things are looking great now. the blue strip is the target zone. I sure wish I had gone to this years ago. Hindsight once again.

I have been on 90% plus no sweets, no beer, and 90% no bread. Butter consumption is down as a result. Foods do taste different. I taste the natural sweetness in milk and some vegetables. I never noticed that before.

I didn't know where else to put it, so it goes here.
A guy we know who owns a HVAC company had been battling melanoma for years. He lost the battle last night. I think he was barely 70.
Enjoy each day fellers...

I know quite a few with skin cancer. My Dad and Grandma both had it and me as well. I have had two forms, but not melanoma. I have been pretty conscientious about wearing my floppy dork hat and face mask when mowing grass or fishing this spring. I am scheduled for recheck with the skin doctor this week.

I made my first trip to a skin doctor last June. They check head to toe. Every nook and cranny. To top it off, the Dr and her assistant were smoking hot. I wasn’t too keen on the idea but now have an annual scheduled which I will do every year.
Dad had a skin cancer removed last year. My wife and 1 daughter are red heads. I finally started to listen to them and now glad that I did.

I finished my annual physical. I am down 23 pounds and no longer called pre diabetic. Doc also cut two of my long standing medications in half.
