[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2098982, member: 450212"] Yes they can be faulty (same as any other tech can be faulty). I've had a couple that were faulty (over about 2ish years) and showed very inaccurate numbers. It's always best to make sure you have a testing kit handy for times when it shows either low or high as they are not accurate at very low or high levels, or for when the libre shows values that don't correlate with how you feel. Admittedly if you've taken a lot more insulin that normal and are not hypo'ing then it may be correct - maybe your insulin pen needs replacing - but actual blood testing is the only way to tell - when I was using Novorapid however sometimes its seemed to take hours for it to do anything.
