[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1723825, member: 41816"] All my libre sensors seem to be around 1-1.5mmol/l lower than the prick tests. I just recognise that it happens, and watch the trends. In your situation I would make a note of exactly what you ate when you get those large rises. For me, the Libre was fundamental in helping me discover that my problem is less about carbs/sugar and more about gluten. Turns out that by strictly avoiding gluten, I can tolerate a lot more carbs, since it is the gluten+carbs that trigger high blood glucose. Without the gluten I can eat the same amount of carbs and my blood glucose stays within range. So it isn't outside the bounds of possibility that you may find specific foods cause much larger rises in glucose than their carb content would lead you to expect. I would encourage you to use your first few sensors as learning tools - for how to make the Libre data work for you, and how to use that data to manage your blood glucose. [/QUOTE]
