[QUOTE="Flakey Bake, post: 1338425, member: 71327"] My understanding is that the DVLA do not accept the sensor device yet there is insufficient evidence on accuracy. This was also the advice given on the DAFNE course I attended a couple of weeks ago as well. Certainly the first 24 hours after applying the sensor, the readings can be erratic. I always use a finger prick test before driving to ensure that I am safe to drive and if in a accident, that my insurance is not invalidated (regardless of fault). However you can use the freestyle neo blood glucose strip with the monitor part of the libre, which is acceptible to the DVLA, so that saves having to carry 2 monitors around. [/QUOTE]
