I'm back in love with my Libre now after finally getting a sensor that worked! I got new sensors sent for the faulty ones and have just finished one with a fortnight of highly accurate results (within 0.1 of a finger prick consistently). The new ones were from a different batch and I'm wondering if I got a bad batch the first time.
Either way, I feel I can trust it now
Phil, in terms of accuracy, I've had a mixed experience with the Libre, as I've had several sensors go completely walkabout, in terms of the readings. It was like they were on mind altering street drugs, racing all over the place!
The last two have been really excellent, although the earlier one just dropped off one morning (replaced without challenge by Abbott). That, and the one I currently have attached were delivered to me around late January (why they weren't used earlier is immaterial), so sometimes it just feels a bit of a lottery.
I'm not saying any of this to dent your confidence in the Libre, as when it's accurate, it's wonderful, just to encourage a balanced approach, and to accept if the sensor really is "off-piste", Abbott will usually respond positively. I'm still earning from it, a year on from my first sensors; although I am a part-time user.
