[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1715892, member: 140811"] I take your point, but what happens at home is never (well probably never) going to replicate what happens in a lab. It's interesting that many people on Facebook post similar comments on Abbott's advertisements. I posted that the Freestyle kept telling me that I am hypoglyceamic when my blood glucose is actually +4. An anonymous response told me to get in touch with their customer relations people., I couldn't be bothered. You may get a free sensor out of it if you try though. If you look at the info sheet that comes with the kit, something like 12 to 15% of readings do not correspond with a reference finger prick test - I'd say that broadly reflects my experience and probably indicates why DVLA have not approved it yet. As for being completely useless, I'd have to disagree. The finger prick test is a snapshot in time, the Freestyle shows trending information which I find invaluable. [/QUOTE]
