Hi,
I bought a Libre Sensor from Boots yesterday (£64, and they wouldn't remove VAT).
Applied yesterday, and got readings after 1 hour. Everything seemed fine.
A day later, I am getting completely wild readings.
Before breakfast, the Libre sensor is reporting 6.6.
90 minutes after breakfast (bacon and coffee, so very little carbs), the Libre sensor is reporting 8.1 then 8.8 a few minutes later.
My glucose blood tester is reporting 6.2 and then 6.4.
Surely, there can't be such a large difference (2.4), so is the Freestyle Libre sensor so inaccurate that it becomes pointless, or did I just get a faulty (and expensive) one??
Thanks,
T
