[QUOTE="tyrex, post: 660200, member: 9469"] I'm not normally one to post on here, but wanted to add my thoughts about the Libre. I received my kit yesterday (Wednesday) and my experience so far (order, delivery, kit, accuracy) pretty much echoes all that I've read on this topic so far. Accuracy doesn't appear too bad but it isn't perfect (I had a 7.3 reading on the Libre overnight and when testing with my OneTouch Ultrasmart which I trust implicitly I was actually hypo at 3.7, the rest of the time it has been fairly near within 1-2 mmol or so), so I certainly wouldn't make hypo treatment or insulin dose calculations based on it alone, which is a little sad. Having said that, I grew up in times of checking test strips against colour charts (1-3, 3-7, 7-13, 13-17, 17+!) and my first meter - the Reflolux - was almost heaven even though it took 3 minutes to get a reading and I had to carry cotton balls everywhere! So in context, I think the Libre is a very useful tool in my kitbag and I really hope it paves the way for a new wave of ever-more accurate devices that work this way. [/QUOTE]
