Message: <blockquote data-quote="Boo1979" data-source="post: 1951026" data-attributes="member: 446715">I was self funding sensors for a while and found them initially good for showing trends but with variable accuracy in terms of how well readings matched blood glucose results ( even after allowing for the time lag between blood and inierstitial fluid readings). Readings from the  Libre when  BG were in the 4-7 range,  could be 1.5-2.5mmol outAfter 6-9 months I developed an allergic reaction ( the pharmacist thought it was probably to the filament rather than the adhesive used on the sensors, although he also said  allergies to the adhesive were being reported  moe frequently)  and this coincided with my  Libre readings becoming much more erratic ( double of half the BG reading), mutiple straight out of the box sensor failures, poor adhesion, etcI no longer see Libre as a good investment for me but think it is still a good bit of kit for showing BG trends in those people who are not allergic to it. From my experience,  I do not think it is accurate enough yet for people to base medication dose decisions / adjustments onHope it all works well for you</blockquote>
