I am delighted with the libre. I've got 5 days to go and will be sad to have to go back to finger pricking. I'm saving my second sensor for Christmas!
I actually have done very few finger pricks in the last 3 days. Those that I've done are more or less in accordance with my old One Touch meter but about 20-30mg/dl lower than my current BGstar meter. ( I thought it read high so I'm pleased that it's the meter and not my glucose that has risen recently; my last HbA1c was actually about 0.4% less than the BGstar suggested it would be)
I'm thinking of asking my prescription to be changed so I can use the libre as an ordinary meter in between sensors.
I haven't needed to test to confirm hyps, which for me very rarely happen outside of exercise. if the reading is in the low 80s and arrow is heading downwards, I'm already beginning to 'feel' hypo in any case.
I've learned that my levels do fall in the very early hours and then rise a bit overnight.
I have a big spike after breakfast if I sit down at the computer. I'm working on ways to stop this.
So far:
1) don't keep sitting: take a walk or do some physical work. It turns the spike in it's tracks
2) inject for breakfast a bit earlier. This seems to make the height of the rise a bit less but it lasts for longer
3) slightly more insulin: reduced the spike but then I was getting low before lunch.
