[QUOTE="Hooked, post: 660900"] I don't drive, DVLA approval is neither here nor there for me. I don't see anywhere on the Abbott website that mentions the Libre is not suitable for diabetics who have lost hypo awareness. It's the randomness of inaccurate readings that is the concern; if you got a RELIABLE reading in the low 5s or 4s with a down trend arrow, it would be common sense for someone with lack of hypo awareness to do finger prick tests, but since a lot of people are finding the readings are unreliable... I've read that quote a few times before on the Abbott site, it makes good sense. But again, it's not the issue I'm raising. And yes, I have been following all posts and all links with interest on these threads as I had previously been quite keen to buy one of these. But so far they have proved themselves not to be relied upon. Many diabetics considering buying one of these are not on here, and are not reading all the links etc people are posting. All we can do is hope those finding inaccuracies are reporting them to Abbott and hold off to see if Abbott respond to this to come up with a more reliable Libre that offers reliable results. In the meanwhile, I'd still NOT be urging people to stop comparing and relax. ;) [/QUOTE]
