Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antje77" data-source="post: 2633182" data-attributes="member: 372207">If you're staying below 7 a lot of the time, the limitations of Libre could outweigh the benefits, especially if you have a tendency to micromanage.Libre is very useful for spotting trends, and for spotting rises and drops.But for many of us, the absolute numbers aren't as trustworthy.For me, Libre consistently reads lower than blood by somewhere between 0.8 and 2.0 mmol/l. I can work around this, and still have great use of my Libre. But if you're usually below 7, you'll likely have pretty sraightish lines in the non diabetic area, and if the Libre reads a tad lower or higher than a fingerprick this may mean a significant difference in such a tight range.It could still be useful to find patterns you weren't aware of before, just be aware of the limitations.</blockquote>
