So I spoke with Libre CS and they have offered a replacement sensor. Not a great experience for the first sensor and no apology or goodwill from a rather robotic team. I have over 20 readings that have been taken in parallel with a finger blood test on the Expert. Over the 20 the average...

Thanks TedTomato - Looking at the figures over the last few days it is consistently reading higher than Aviva Expert by 25%-45%. Now I have actually calculated the difference I am even more shock, this sensor must be way off. Other than size and applicator "friendliness" what disadvantage is any...

Scott-C. I had thought the same. I will speak with Abbott CS tomorrow and report back here. I don't know what I would find acceptable? maybe no more than 1 mmol in either direction. Anyone else dumped Libre and gone Dexcom? anyone had terrible accuracy (More than 4mmol out) on Dexcom?

Dear All, New Member and as my profile suggests I have been a lazy Type II since diagnosis in 2000. Strong family history of Diabetes which led to awareness to catch high BG fairly early. However Diet + Exercise + weight loss (lately probably due to high BG) led me to "forget" and despite...
