[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 660894, member: 89494"] Well there's a whole new can of worms here. Knowing the readings are interstitial and behind blood levels, and knowing its not DVLA approved, then surely if a diabetic has lost awareness, then this product should not be used by them. If it could potentially cost a life because you rely an a blood reading, then my advice would naturally be that the Libre is not for you. Id prefer my quotes to stay in its context if that is ok. I am only talking about finger pricking using blood and scanning based on interstitial. If you read the articles I posted and links, it should be clear that this is not for everybody. On the freestyle libre website, it clearly states: A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels, or if hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia is reported but the symptoms do not match the system readings.
