[QUOTE="CelalDari, post: 2269322"] I tried a Freestyle Libre for 2 weeks for the first time. For the first 2-3 days my BG was 0.4-0.7 mmol/L off my actual reading which was not bad since the Libre is 15 min behind. During the mid term of using it the accuracy was amazing, sometimes I would get the same values both on Libre and glucometer. However by day 11/12 the sensor became inaccurate and the inaccuracy increased day by day until a difference of 2.7 mmol/L between real BG and Libre values. Anyways I used it for the 14 days and at the end I contacted Abbott Diabetes Care to say my complaints. They asked a few questions, my address and boom! they said they will replace my sensor for free. They also send a free post envelope so you can send back the old inaccurate sensor. Make sure you don’t throw away your sensor. I will try the Libre for another 2 weeks and will see if it’s something I should invest in because I heard it’s hard to get it on the NHS [/QUOTE]
