[QUOTE="Stefans, post: 1575706, member: 254461"] I have been using libre for about 3+ months now, I almost never prick anymore, except the first day with a new sensor. I have consistently gotten about 1 mmol/l lower values out of the libre compared to my finger pricks, it seems to be very consistent for me. I have just today done a check of my libre vs finger prick, I used both Libre optima and accu check sticks. This is the result. [ATTACH=full]24027[/ATTACH] I tried to take tests when my values would be stable, this was after lunch, a low carb lunch at about 12:00. I was surprised that it went up so much, but still within about 1 mmol/l, not so bad. To note is the difference of the finger pricks, to have a change of 1 mmol/l just 1 minute later surprised me, the few times I have tested twice before I never had more than 0.3 - 0.4 diff. All in all the test showed that (for me) the libre is almost 1 mmol/l to low. that is how I use it and it works very fine for me. As I said I used to prick almost 10 times per day, now I do 1 or 2 tests for each new sensor. BTW this was a sensor that was about 30 hours old. [/QUOTE]
