[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2001597"] I sometimes use a Libre to test before driving but don't use the Libre alone. As others have said, a Libre is not always accurate. But finger pricks are not perfect either - they only tell you what your BG is now and cannot predict what it will be, Therefore, I like to finger prick to find out an accurate enough reading for now and use the LIbre to tell me what the trend is. For example, if my finger prick is 4.2 and Libre tells me my BG is rising, I am happy to drive whereas, if my finger prick is 5.0 and Libre tells me my BG is falling fast, I will eat something before driving.
