[QUOTE="Bill_St, post: 1922974, member: 310899"] To an extent, what he says about Libre underestimating hypo level (below 70mg or 4mmol) individual scans is correct. Abbott do very clearly warn about this and say to confirm with blood tests when near or in hypo levels - which his charts confirm he is. It is misleading for him to to say they don’t warn you of inaccuracies giving lower values when in or near the hypo levels. They do. Indeed the FDA documents specifically mention this warning. But much better to be safer and warn of hypo levels when very low - and to tell you to confirm with a blood test - which is what Abbott do. Most users say that their estimated eA1c levels are very close to their HbA1c blood test results - but most users are not running at HbA1c of 6.0% or 42. Perhaps, as an individual, he is better to use much more expensive equipment or to continue with many blood tests. Most of us wish to avoid that. Most of us find Libre averages very accurate. Which is why over 1,000,000 people are now regularly using Libre and many national health care organisations are recommending and supplying them. [/QUOTE]
