[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1962463"] I'm not fully conversant with how T2's use meters but you do seem to run a much narrower 'acceptance' for how your blood sugars vary. Fortunately it is only this new fangled tech the Libre that can be that far out, but after a while you get used to how your body works and sometimes you look at the Libre and "go that's not right" do a blood test and find out you were right :) You get to live with these things it is not a "life or death" situation but it might lead you do something that you then have a battle later on to correct. Been there done that got the t-shirt :hilarious: For example I had a Libre tell me I was 15.4 :wideyed: knew I was not, certainly didn't feel it, did a blood it was 10.5, still bit high but least it was not the massive correction it could have been. As a T1D we can generally operate between 4 and 10mmol, below that is Hypo so needs some sweets etc above 10 and your into Hyper so correct with insulin if that's what you want :) Its all fun and games :) [/QUOTE]
