[QUOTE="bravopapa, post: 1735279, member: 154298"] Please help anxious dad and just picking up on this forum. We have a beautiful 8 year old daughter sadly diagnosed T1 (although possible MODY but that's another story) 3 weeks ago. She has been more upset by finger pricks than insulin shots (Basel Bolus 4 per day). We convinced her that Libre would reduce frequency to only pre-meal/insulin calculation and hypo treatment. So excited at prospect we invested in Libre (plus butterfly shaped rocktape stickers etc that an 8 year old NEEDS!). Applied nearly 36 hours ago and our reading are crazy. She is still running high as then slowly bring down the carb ratios in the meter but we have just finger pricked a 9 and the Libre is showing 15.8. In fact, the last 3 readings we have pricked against have shown a 3,5 and now 6 mmol difference. I accept they "calm down" but this is just infuriating, especially after the fear and tears we had applying it. I am really not amused or impressed. Due lunch bolus in 25 minutes so will compare the two again and report back, Anyone had such variation during the first 48 hours. I must add that the first one we did had a variation of just 0.2mmol at 2 hours activation??? Anxious Dad. [/QUOTE]
