This is one of the more minor issues I've had with the Libre,
@jimmysmith .
I've been using it for 6 weeks and have decided to revert to my old finger-stabbing Expert meter. I'm going through a phase of intensive testing and really need to keep an eye on where my bloods are regularly throughout the day. I'd thought the Libre would be ideal for this but it's just not accurate enough. At worst I've found it's been out by up to two mmols. I once read 5.3 and when I checked on the Expert I was actually 3.4. Bit of a difference!
I've had the Sensor Error message a few times and it's always gone back to normal after an hour or so. a bit annoying when I want to know what my levels are NOW. I've also had problems with the sticky pad coming away and inexplicable gaps in the graph.
I'm not saying the Libre's not great - it's bloomin' marvelous it lots of ways, but in terms of reliability of readings and performance it's not where I need it to be at the moment. Perhaps as it picks up in popularity they might release the Libre2, with accurate readings, better waterproofing, bolus advice, a cloaking device and an in-built laser cannon!
