[QUOTE="Stroudie, post: 1940635, member: 117960"] Several coomments on the above posts I was at a conference back in June about exercise and diabetes. We had a presentation by an Austrian researcher who said he had been working on a project that involved using Libre in sport. He said their results which had not yet been published showed their were problems with Libre accuracy when used in high intensity sports. As some of us at the conference were T1Ds due to run a half marathon the following day and had been given FSL to use this caused some consternation! It seems to tie in with the SamJB's observation above. I have been using Libre with first Blucon and then MiaMiao for the last 12 months. It is good but not perfect. I kept detailed observations over several months with at least 2 blood tests ad day (using Contour Next). Libre was often consistently high and one sensor low but when below 4 mmoll/l (72 mg/dl) it was accurate or too low so at no time was I in danger of missing a hypo. The Libre xdrip setup was biased to be low most of the time despte re-calibrating whenever needed but on 2 occasions I was in danger of going hypo while having a reassuring BG readings. To see the full report go to my website bgonmywatch.com and read article "Medtrum is it a contender?" My verdict is that Libre plus trasmitter is not wholly to be trusted but I now have reasonable warning signs so I am happy to use it and my overall management has been transformed. To sum up my experience has been much better than Tim's I am however consdering changing to G6 and using it with xdrip+ as if we can get 100% more life out of sensors and 50% out of trnsmitters it should be economical.
