[QUOTE="Fleegle, post: 1479530, member: 402985"] I have started with one in the last two weeks. I to get lower reading than my SD code free - but equally that is completely random and known to read higher. I also get the slow downward trend all night - as low as about 3mmol. This is consistent across two sensors. It does go up and down as I eat though so it is tracking even a little lower than it should. The HBA1C test will tell. BTW - in one sitting on my SD code free with three strips I got 8.4, 7.1, 6.5 - and short of taking three every time and averaging I suspect the Libre is more likely to be accurate - I don't know? I did email them about the first sensor - they have sent me some test strips to try and see what the difference really is. I will do this over the next couple of days. They also sent me out a new sensor. I presume that they fall under the same regulations as any other meter meaning that they have to be within (is it 15%) of the mark. So I think that when it tells me I am 5 I could be as high as 5.75 and I am not too worried about that. I suppose I would be if it read 15 - but then I would be worried about a lot of things. I hope it is not as inaccurate as suggested. When I did my research before buying I could find next to no bad news on them across several sites [/QUOTE]
