Good morning "The Big Newt". Thanks for replying. I think you misunderstood my post - but then I did not give all the information. I normally live in England but am at present in Northern Ireland (which is also part of UK). In the UK the National Health Service supplies pensioners with all the basic health care needs FREE at the expense of the tax payer (thats why our taxes are so high).
In England I was issued with a "meter" called "Element" and NONE of the medical wholesalers in Northern Ireland stock the Element test strips. So I had to wait a week for my Doctor's appointment and consequently ran out of test strips. I even phoned my Doctor in England but they could not help me and advised to wait for my appointment over here. The surgery in Northern Ireland issued me with a new "One Touch" meter and the necessary test strips. All OK.
My previous Post was about the "strange" readings that I was getting on my Libre, which said: "these past 3 days my Libre has been reading very low 2.4, 3.1 4.4 and LO, - but I knew that those figures could not be right because I felt fine." I wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar.
I like the Libre, but I would also prefer to have something whose readings I can trust. Readings which mean NOTHING are of no use. Three different readings gave me LO which I knew could not be true because I felt fine. If my BS readings drop down below 3 I normally start sweating and a litter later start shaking because I am heading for a HYPO. A reading of 2.4 and three readings of LO would normally have me drinking something very sweet. BUT I FELT FINE - so not to worry.
Any suggestions?
