Freestyle Libre Trials You may have seen the Freestyle Libre advertised— someone wears a sensor that can be scanned to test blood sugars. The Libre is unfortunately not covered by NIHB, but if you have private insurance it may be. Our Program is able to provide free, 2-week trials of the Libre system until December. Even if you only use it for 2 weeks it provides really helpful info on how food, exercise, stress, medications, etc affect blood sugars. If you are interested in trying the Libre contact our program. We ask for a commitment of 3 short appointments over the 2 week trial.
Body composition scans before and after. A calendar full of activities and presentations to help keep you motivated! $10 Food Bank donation to join. Registrations closes October 11th.
