[QUOTE="JoeT1, post: 1609224, member: 445711"] Hey all, As some of you know, I was only diagnosed a month ago. I purchased the Freestyle Libre out of my own pocket last week and applied the sensor last night. Of course, not waiting around, I immediately scanned the sensor to activate, and have been testing a lot overnight and today. I love the fact I can test as much as I want, that I can see the graph and so on. Now, 2 things. - I know they say it can take 12-24 hours to get a correct reading and comparable to the finger prick test. It seems to be big differences between the two, sometimes up to 3-4mmol....anyone seen this early on? - If I take a reading right now, it could be say, 14.2mmol, if i take the same reading 2-5minutes later, it can move up or down up to 2mmol I guess it's just giving it that initial 12-24 hours in order to start itself correctly? Hope everyone having a good Sunday [/QUOTE]
