[QUOTE="bravopapa, post: 1736818, member: 154298"] So I spoke with Libre CS and they have offered a replacement sensor. Not a great experience for the first sensor and no apology or goodwill from a rather robotic team. I have over 20 readings that have been taken in parallel with a finger blood test on the Expert. Over the 20 the average difference is exactly 3mmol and a %change of 25%. Libre "should " work out at around £100 per month. Dexcom offers a subscription service of £160 per month for 4 transmitters and 26 sensors over a 12 month period. Assuming 3 weeks per sensor then this again is as near £100 per month as well. My only issue was sensor size (with the transmitter attached) for an 8 year old, and the application device. I have a Blucon on order and will use that with xDrip+ for nighttime alerts and just leave it as a flash meter during the day. I have told Libre CS that should the next sensor be no different I want a full refund. Anyone getting on with Libre I will offer the bluecon on here for sale should I go this route. Just wanted to say what a great community this is. Its such a daunting topic and I wanted to thank everyone for their patience and help. [/QUOTE]
