Thanks for replying, so you would say it is pretty accurate? I read some stuff about it not being accurate so it is very helpful if you say it is. But I also read on Diabetes UK Website that it was designed with Type 2 in mind and for those who test infrequently? I am so stressed about it all.

Thanks for that, no I don't notice a peak, I think it's just going to be trying to work out the right dose during the night to try and combat dawn phenomenon and 3am readings. Sounds like fun!
