[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1056039, member: 265172"] I'm on my first sensor, and it's been around 20% higher than my blood test results. I found this irritating to start with, and to be honest it would be absolutely great if it always corresponded (although I appreciate that it's a 20-min tine lag to take into account interstitial vs blood glucose) BUT..... I LOVE IT. I'm using it more as a general overall pattern measurer. It's not replacing my testing regimen. I have identified when I tend to go up, and when I tend to go down. It's prompted me to do some more basal rate blood testing as before I had it I had no idea how fast I was dropping overnight. I'm more relaxed about being able to gauge discreetly where my blood glucose level is at - if I'm out and about of course I will still have my pump and handset/meter with me - but the Libre is brilliant for tickalong testing, as I call it. No fuss, just blip the Smartie on my arm and off I go. I know it's early days, but I think the Libre has already earned its place in my life. (Please remind me of my last statement if I ever come back on this thread to whinge about it!) So far, I know it's not perfect, but it's promising. [/QUOTE]
