[QUOTE="smidge, post: 679297, member: 29301"] [USER=46543]@kitty55[/USER] - I think most of my poor accuracy with the Libre is when I am either very high i.e. in double figures - a 10 on my Mobile will read as 14 or higher on the Libre or very low i.e. a 2.9 on the Mobile will read as 5 something on the Libre. The worrying thing is that the Libre always reports my BG as stable at these times i.e. horizontal arrow. If it reported my BG as moving fast in one direction or the other I would accept that I need to test, but stable and way out is unacceptable and dangerous. As for positioning, I think my first sensor was a bit further forward than this one on the left arm. It did get in the way of sleeping, but that didn't seem to affect it. This one is further back on the right arm. I've slept on it loads without any issues. So I'm not sure what's causing the overnight issues for you and Robert.
