[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1831686, member: 372717"] I used the libre happily for 8 months but after that I developed a skin allergy to the sensor and the readings became hopelessly inaccurate for me. (eg readings of LO all night even though a blood test showed 6). It sounds like your issue is a faulty sensor, though. I have read that others get occasional faulty sensors, and I'm sure if you ring Abbott they'll replace it. In future I'd recommend doing occasional tests to make sure you're not being led astray by your sensor, and in particular to be very suspicious of hypo readings when you haven't got any symptoms. It's an awesome device when it's working, but does appear to have (hopefully only occasional) reliability issues. [/QUOTE]
