Libre 1 - hit blood - more accurate?

[LittleGreyCat]

Just taken my old Libre off.
I remember it stinging a bit when I applied it.
Now I've removed it there are obvious signs of a very minor bleed (which I haven't seen before).

However this Libre has been spot on instead of reading low, as most of the others have.

Correlation does not imply causation.
Still, makes you wonder.

No, I don't know how to hit a very minor blood vessel when applying the Libre.

Happens regularly, nothing to worry about.
I've heard say 'bleeders are the best readers' but personally I haven't noticed a difference between the bleeders and the non bleeders in almost 4 years of use.

Hi.

I've noticed i calibrated less with the odd bleeder.. They can twang more too.?
Usually a little spot of blood in the centre hole & evidence on removal of a little dried blood soak?

I've never had one fail so far...

I had a couple recently that full on bled through the hole in the middle and dripped down my arm immediately after application. They were no more or less in line with finger pricks than any other sensor.
