I have recently moved from a Dexcom to a NHS funded Freestyle Libre. I am finding that the Libre consistently reads around 1.5 to 2mmol/l lower than my finger prick readings and what the Dexcom was (I overlapped them a bit). I tend to have pretty good control so this means the Libre often says I am in the 3s so I am reluctant to share my data with the hospital as they will give me hassle or remove my funding for being low when I’m not. Is there anything I can do to calibrate? And what does anyone else do if their Libre consistently reads low?
Hi,
I fund mine, but my team where cheeky enough to want an invite for Libre link? (So I obliged.)
I would at low points make notes on the app "the meter says X." "The meter actually is saying Y." Libres seem to take a while recovering from real hypos. Alway double check the meter.
Of course I had to reverted back to scanning & double book keeping?
I was using the Miaomiao 2 with the XDrip app, which can be calibrated..
Glimp, another pretty good free app also has the feature to calibrate. But I found it less stable on my device with the Bluetooth transmitter.
Hope this helps.
