[QUOTE="Garak, post: 2621009, member: 564839"] I’ve tried the Libre 2 quite a few times previously. They were inaccurate for me, but consistently inaccurate. Always 2-3mmol lower when my BG was low, and 2-3mmol high when BG is high. With the Libre 2 I always wore them on the backs of my arm. My current Dexcom 1 is much better located just beneath my rib cage, strangely when it first went on, but has become less accurate as the days pass. Still, better than when I tried them on the backs of my arms and the lower sides of abdomen. Perhaps try yours in some different places if you haven’t already. I’d probably be happier if they would move me on to the Libre 2, but I can’t afford to buy them, and my DN tells me there’s no chance of me getting them. We’ll see what my endocrinologist says when I finally get an appointment . Thanks and good luck, I hope you find something more reliable. [/QUOTE]
