[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1447668, member: 374531"] It's a bit unfortunate you're getting such bad results. I've been using libre for almost a year now. Most of them have been fine, have made a massive difference to control, but there's been a couple of dodgy sensors I really haven't trusted. It's not necessarily a problem with the sensor: you're sticking a piece of plastic/metal in your body, and your body reacts to that, and will have a go at coating it with a wide variety of stuff which will throw readings out, google bio-fouling. Maybe you've just got a bad sensor, maybe you're just one of these people who cgm just doesn't work for because of body chemistry, but don't write it off just yet. Don't e-mail Abbott, you'll never hear from them, but their phone line is pretty good. They prefer it if you can test scan results against meter readings on the inbuilt blood meter in the reader, see if you can get some Freestyle Optium strips to use for that. [/QUOTE]
