[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2200782, member: 6467"] Interesting to see so many others reporting that the Libre is consistently 1 to 1.5 below a finger prick. I also find this, when checking by taking a finger prick reading then taking a sensor scan 20 minutes later. As a self funding T2 I find the trend information enormously valuable and the supposed readings immensely frustrating. An average of 1.5 below your true readings can make you feel that you are doing a lot better than you really are. I have also had overnight hypos recorded which I don't think are due to compression (sleeping on that arm). As I understand it the accuracy drops if the reading is below 4, but I also assume that a reading of 2.5 could actually be a reading of 4 which is low but normal. I had one where the graph appeared to flat line at the bottom (effectively 0?) in which case I haven't noticed that I am dead yet. [/QUOTE]
