[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2420821, member: 527103"] In addition to failures and lags, I would add a couple of other things to bear in mind - some of us find the sensors are inaccurate on their first couple of days as our body gets used to the alien object inserted into our arms. I "soak" my sensor by inserting it into my arm 2 days before I activate it - the sensors are in accurate when high or low. Anything over 8 or 9 is unreliable in my experience and I always check a high or a low before correcting - my DSN hammered home to me that if the readings on the Libre do reflect how you feel, always test with finger pricks - I find the sensor accuracy drifts so I always test with a finger prick at least once a day.
