Disagree with the negatives here, for me at least. Libre does a good job of telling me if I'm safe to drive - it under-reads if anything and as per the DVLA guidance there's a fingerprick backup if there's any doubt. The ease of testing means it's way more likely to happen at a rather higher frequency than every two hours, and that combined with the obvious trend lines mean it's going to be a lot quicker to spot problems sooner. Compare eg "hmm, an hour in and I feel a little different. Hypo, hyper, too much fizz, what? Don't know, but I can test. Ok, I'll wait for a junction or service station, pull in, stop, get the kit out, test, ok, it was fine, drive off again. Or wave the reader, see it's fine and trending along, carry on." 10 minutes difference to the journey - I'm not likely to do the stop unless it's feeling likely to be a problem, but the quick wave means I'll know instantly.
Maybe the fingerprick is a useful addition in those marginal times (4-5ish), but for me they're quite rare anyway, it's generally rather more obvious.
It still says you have to pull over to check the device so what's the difference really?
Because I am registered with them, I presume. I get emails from them frequently.Why?
Not every time I drive but usually I test within 2 hours of driving.Playing devils advocate here but, does everyone on this forum really finger prick every time before driving ? Doubt it and I doubt anyone will admit not to.
@evilclive So every sensor you have had has worked perfectly, and only every read 1 point behind the blood tests?
Oh and I am not being negative just cautious seeing as the current sensor I have on was reading 4 points out from the bloods the other day but now has settled down to 1.5 points out. Technology is good but has its flaws.

Remember there is a legal requirement to park and turn off the engine before using any handheld device including the Libre reader. Hence even using the Libre at a red traffic light can result in points.
