[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1617599, member: 374531"] Accuracy depends on a lot of things. Some libre sensors can be a bit ropey - most of mine run about 1 below blood, so that's easy enough for me to make an adjustment in my head. But with the blucon gadget I mentioned in that other thread you were looking at I can do a bg test then tell the app that reading so it knows for definite what my bg us and it'll then make mote sense of the readings it's getting from the sensor. Provided I calibrate it once or twice a day like that, results are surprisingly accurate. It woke me up a few weeks ago at 4am as it had gone below my 4.3 low alert. The app showed it at 4.2, checked blood and it was 4.3! First couple of weeks I had it, I tested a lot more than usual just to get an idea of whether I trusted it - vast majority of readings were only like 0.2 or 0.4 out. Trust it enough now to bolus from it. So, yeah, if it tells me I'm heading towards a hypo, I'll pay attention to that, and I can always fall back on a bg test if there's anything "iffy" about it.
