Hi Everyone,
I'm in a bit of a rut and needing some advice.
I'm also very aware of how lucky I am to have the Libre on prescription (after 18 months of self funded) so do not want to seem like I am moaning, it is a wonderful tool and it has really helped me! However, past month or so I have noticed it has been seriously under reading, by around 5mmol every single time. It often reads that I'm low all night, and I'm actually around 6, or that I'm around 6 all night and I'm actually 13+. It often tells me I'm low and I'm not. I'm wondering if something has changed, why is it suddenly so incorrect? I feel like I can't trust it anymore and am looking in to getting a CGM, even though financially I cannot afford it I feel like its important to be using correct readings!
I have also changed sensors a few times to see if its that..... any help greatly appreciated!
