Think thats what i may have to do, well, at least i can order new sensors in a week and the first one will be less that a week old.
Tried contacting their careline earlier, told me it was in transit but could't tell me when delivery would be. Its currently sat at HUB CHILLY MAZARIN, and has been since 1.50am, which when googled reveals that its just up from the orly international airport so hopefully be in the uk tomorrow, but you never know
 
Well, got a text form DPD last night, being delivered today, have their tracking number now as well so i can track it, currently set to deliver between 12.40 and 13.40 and dpd are pretty good at the timings
 
@Desbrina Every tracking number I've had from DPD has been spot on, not just for the libre, we'll expect a first scan report on the dot at 14:40 (at the latest!) :D
 
now wheres that 'dislike' button when you need it - sorry you're stuck at work for the whole day.
 
Applied my first sensor last night, activated this morning. readings are on the low side.Have used Glimp and it seems to give more reasonable results.

I have read that Glimp can reduce the sensor life. Any views on this. Thanks

I've used Glimp and Liapp and had no problems, all sensors (that remained stuck on) have lasted the full 14 days.

I've had two sensors that were low for a few days before coming good so hopefully yours will sort itself out.
 
thanks my readings are as follows

Finger meter 1 = 5.3
finger meter 2 = 5.1
Glimp = 5.4
Libre = 4.3

The meters are two different manufacturers

I usually find my Accu-chek mobile is the highest reading of all. 4 days left on this sensor, it started off being a few mmol/l lower than it should be (including some time just showing 'LO') but now it's bang on.

Libre scan = 7.4 (steady arrow)
Liapp scan = 7.2 (slowly rising arrow)
Glimp scan = 6.9

Libre blood = 7.0
Accu-chek mobile blood = 7.8
 
Thanks after reading about all the issues with the libre my expections are not high.

Do you know if glimp readings can be displayed in tabular format?
