Have been using this for months, with really close results between blood and isf readings. It has been amazing BUT......Then bought a box of 10 and used 3 in a row, ALL of which were excessively inaccurate at 100% + wrong/ higher. My son thought he was at 5.5, felt hypo and was at 2!!! So this was very dangerous. I emailed Abbot, asking if I could return what was clearly a faulty box of 7 remaining, as I didn't trust them. They refused as they have to be returned within 14 days. This was despite me explaining the issue and the DANGEROUS level of the inaccuracy. So I bought more and - touch wood - they have been fine again. Now I have 7 sensors that I do not trust, that expire in Jan 2018. Any ideas welcome.
Isn't this so disappointing, when they are due to launch as a prescription product? Looking at my son's chart, which cleanly shows the errors/ inaccuracies, this would be terrible press for Abbot. If my local surgery saw it, there's no way I'd get it provided on prescription, I imagine.
We are still using the product, but feel rather cheated, to the sum of £350 worth of potentially useless sensors. I have suggested this to so many people, who ended up using it and paying their cash to Abbot, like me :-(
