[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2468223, member: 372207"] The first thing which comes to mind is that while Libre is very accurate for some, it can be off for others, especially in the low range. Which can be a real issue in your case. I've been using the Libre for over 4 years, and for me they always read lower than a finger prick by 0.8 to 2.0 mmol/l, which in your case would mean it would show you as hypo almost all the time. Mind, for others it reads spot on, but I wouldn't draw conclusions from the sensor without doing a lot of finger prick testing alongside to make sure the reported hypo's are actually hypo's. Also, many of us find it's off in the first 24 hours. It's an amazing tool for trends and patterns, and I hope it will provide you some insights, just don't trust the absolute numbers without double checking! [/QUOTE]
