[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1473475, member: 295621"] I fully agree. Sure the device will start interpreting readings and display numeric values, but they're often not all that accurate for the initial 24-36 hours in my experience. My most recent Libre, I threw in two days before activating. I can say that it's been the most 'accurate' to date. And is almost definitely down to leaving a minimum period of 24 hours before activation. I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but the Libre has integration with Smartphones as well which is very handy. Not only is it handy, but it means that you don't have to pay for the £157.50 starter pack, but can buy either one or two sensors by themselves - ultimately saving you a good bit of dosh. If you use the LibreLink smartphone app over the Libre reader (which is supplied with the starter pack) then the generated reports aren't quite as good. But still decent. Whatever decision you choose to make [USER=400850]@amylh1[/USER]:) [/QUOTE]
