[QUOTE="HeartlessHaxisal, post: 2150844, member: 401522"] Personally I’ve found the accuracy to be pretty good, I had problems when I first started using it but having spoken to my Medtronic representative who is diabetic himself and uses the sensor I followed his advice of inserting the sensor in my arm the same way you do the libre rather than in the stomach as the manual and my diabetes nurse suggested. Accuracy went up hugely after that. Sensors do still have a rather annoying habit of failing and not accepting calibrations. It then allows calibration after 15 minutes of this error but it rarely works after that, you should leave it about an hour. And if it does fail due to the calibration requirements for the first day if it does mess up you have to wait until the next morning to insert a new one, unless you want to be woken up in the early hours of the morning for calibration!
