Freestyle libre accuracy

[sklane11]

Hello! I am new to this forum and have had type 1 for 12 years now! Deciding it's about time to try and get my numbers in control and been doing of research online over CGM/FGM. As much as I love the look of CGM I just can't afford that right now so looking more towards the Freestyle Libre - just wondering if anyone could share their experience with the Libre and whether it's helped them? I'm mainly worried about the accuracy of it and whether this has been an issue for anyone? Thanks!!
