[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2374930, member: 527103"] Can you explain what you mean here? I would have thought the Libre was better because it spots the peak whenever it occurs rather than assuming it is 2 hours after eating. My understanding is the target is to minimise spiking regardless of when that spike occurs so I am confused by your mention of the lag. [USER=519398]@Mscmhs1[/USER] be aware that the Libre is most accurate between 4 and 8 mol/l. When you go outside this range, the reading become unreliable. As someone with T1, this means I always test with finger pricks when I am higher. Correcting a 15 with insulin could be dangerous if it is really a 10. I know insulin is not a consideration for you but Libre may not be a good judge of blood sugars if you are higher than the range. All you know is that you are peaking and when but I would never rely on the sensor to correctly tell be by how much if the numbers were higher. I am sure this is disappointing to read but Libre was designed for identifying time in range and lows rather than the extent of highs. [/QUOTE]
