[QUOTE="Horlicks, post: 1239225, member: 88336"] An update. Abbott kindly agreed to send a replacement even though I could not return the one that fell off. The replacement worked well and gave what I deemed to be accurate readings. (I checked it against my ordinary meter and got near identical result). So, after 2 weeks I ordered another and applied it this morning. Soon after I got a reading of 5.3 which I suspected was wrong. Checked with a finger prick which was 8! It continued to give suspiciously very low readings for several hours but another check this evening gave a more credible reading of 8.5 Libre, 9.5 finger prick. Have others had issues such as this? Is the Libre just 'settling in' a bit late (although its supposed to be ready for readings 1 hour after being first applied). [/QUOTE]
