[QUOTE="MuttNJeff, post: 2759432, member: 562682"] With respect, you are lucky with the logbook! When I started on the Libre 2 I was still driving, so I had to make a note in the logbook if the claimed reading was <5 and a BM test was >5, to justify continuing to drive. Since then, I have stopped driving, but I continue to make notes so that I can update my [B]written[/B] record at the end of the day. But for at least 6 months the logbook has been inaccessible. If an entry is within the bast few hours, I can click on the indication at the top of the graph to see what I wrote, but for anything older, forget it. On some occassions after trying to access the logbook (in case it was now working) I would eventually click on 'home' and get a summary of the most recent log items, but lasting less than 1 second before the home screen appeared. And then retrying the log fails to show any of it. Meanwhile, it has now become clear that the readings are no-longer "current or past few minutes, subject to not reading the blood itself" but [B][I]predictions[/I][/B] - a few hours ago I was part-way through a long meal, checked the reading and saw 3.7. For a real 3.7 my eyes are sufficiently poor that I have difficulty reading the screen if the room has lights which refloct off the screen.. On this occasion I could read it fine, no symptoms, so no extra CHO. Finished the meal, rechecked the graph, no readings less that 5.0! I also see random spiked measurements after I move (yes, I'm decrepit, other issues apart from diabetes) which later disappear from the graph. The worst thing is that I now find, perhaps once or twice a day, that I make an entry for insulin or food, and then when I look back that entry has disappeared. My considered opinion is that Libre 2 is a crock of the proverbial, and a waste of the NHS's money. Ken [/QUOTE]
