Free Style Libre

[Carmelo BR]

Hi everyone! I have a little 11 years old daughter, type 1, she has been used Freestyle Libre since it arrived here in Brazil. But the lasts sensors that we used, the glucose levels are very different from the test on the fingers.
Some examples:

Libre: 130mg/dL
Finger: 245mg/dL

Libre: 53mg/dL
Finger: 124md/dL

So, my asking is, do you all have good measures glucose using the Libre, or anyone has the same situation like us?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Knikki!! It has happened after the first 24 hours, even after 4...7... days from applying of the sensor! I called to them, but the solution that they gave us, was the replacement of the sensor!!!

Thanks for your answer!!

About this your citation:

“Many of us will stick the sensor on for 24 hours BEFORE activating it so beds in and gives better readings.”

Let me see if I got it! Your Libre application is like this:
1- First, you stick the sensor, BUT doesn’t active that
2- AFTER 24 hours from its application, you activate it
3- so, I this way, your readings are very more accurates?

Thanks
