I bought the Libre before Christmas. Once you get your head around the delay, it's good for looking at patterns.
In terms of reliability, it's probably the worst piece of equipment I've ever bought. I've already had to have two sensors and the reader replaced.
On the advice of my DSN, I only use the sensor for two weeks of every month, and MOST importantly, I don't scan the sensor until 24 hours after I've attached it, as the first 24 hours tend not to be accurate. This way you get the full 14 days of use as the sensor is not activated until it's scanned.
I hope that helps.
