Mine's tracking between 1.2 and 1.7 out in comparison to the Mobile. That said, it could be the Mobile that's out - I've always had a few suspicions about it's accuracy compared with my older Mobile.
Abbotts would have helped themselves (and us) a lot by including some test strips with the starter pack so that we could calibrate against their meter. I don't want to change my prescription because at the times I don't use the Libre (e.g. for months I can't afford it, or if I conclude it's not accurate enough) I want to stick with my Mobile as it's an all in one that is more convenient when i'm in meetings or out and about etc. If I get my GP to change my prescription I might never get it put back again as they'll try to foist the cheapo meters and strips on me - and I'm not about to risk that until I am sure of the accuracy of the Libre.

.... if it's any help, I cross checked my Accucheck-mobile with my Freestyle Optimum Neo all day yesterday and today as I suspected the mobile was out as I keep feeling REALLY low at anything in the 4's.... the Accucheck was at least a 1.3 higher consistently - often 2 points higher, and a couple of times almost 3 points higher...! It only read the same as the Freestyle once.... so although I LOVE the accucheck-mobile, I'm starting to think it does read high - sometimes very much so.... :-/
