[QUOTE="Triffo, post: 2201713, member: 180655"] I’ve been using freestyle libre since July last year. Self funded as don’t qualify as type 2. I was not allowed to attend the training at the hospital but my local DN arranged for me to attend a Training session with a type 1 user at the clinic. This points out that there is a difference between the readings for the Libre and the finger prick. The Libre is always behind so if worried then I test with a finger prick. I have both the Libre tester and the FreeStyle’s own app on my iPhone but to use both I must start all new sensors with the Libre tester first. I have only had trouble with one sensor that failed. My biggest result using the Libre was I was able to prove beyond any doubt the impact of Prednisalone on my blood results. It’s a big win, one that I was arguing with the doctors about for the last 4 years. Despite doing all the low carb and losing weight (my BMI is 20.5) my control is not brilliant due to the Prednisalone. Using the Libre has given me much improved control and allowed me to work at bringing down my HBA1C to 53. [/QUOTE]
