[QUOTE="Erin85, post: 1151135, member: 160454"] To be honest, I don't check it against my bg meter often - mostly if the libre reads a hypo, or reads normal but I feel hypo. I then continue to use bg meter until I'm back to normal levels and switch back to CGM. I know that they aren't always exactly the same, but if they are within a few mmol/l's, I'm happy. I understand that it might have been 6.1 10mins ago, but that it is actually now 8.7, for example. I'm using mine to help my levels during pregnancy. I had a bit of a bad few weeks, taken off insulin, still going over the 'safe' target, still hypoing etc. Luckily, everything has started to settle and I am back on my normal insulin. Started back on my background insulin last night and the difference between today and the last few days are night and day! I love looking at the charts and amount of time in target - keeps me focused :) x x [/QUOTE]
