Things are looking up. After 36 hours of my readings been off I rang Abbott and they said they would send a new sensor. Last night, 48 hours after starting the readings between the Libre and my Mobile are converging. Even to a point that could be usable. If this was to happen with each sensor it would push up the cost of the usable days.
One thing I am finding really interesting is the impact of different carbs on my levels. Some give a spike that goes quickly, others not as much of a spike but last longer. Whether the readings are spot on or not I think I am going to turn myself in to a guinea pig and make the most of this. I have only had diabetes for just under a year so this is great.
I tried downloading the data this morning and at first thought some was missing. I then realised it was the alignment of the data to the column heading as I had opened it in a text file. Imported to excel and all good. With this and all the info on food, exercise, weight, injections etc. I can download from the tracking app. I use the insight the additional reading data gives is so good.
Conclusion, whether the next sensors are just out or not I can always put an adjustment in Excel based on diferences between the Mobile and Libre to get it where it needs to be. Might mean I don't use the Libre as my main one but it I am going to make sure this investment makes a positive difference to managing my diabetes.
Good luck to everyone. And I agree, if someone could make an addition to the tracking app I have that use NFC so it could read the sensor that would be perfect. One less thing to carry around. At the moment I have my mobile, work mobile, Accu-Check Mobile and the Libre. Starting to feel a little weighed down
