[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2243576, member: 372717"] Do several fingerprick tests and record the libre result 10 to 15 minutes later. If you are getting a large discrepency you can ring abbott and they will probably send you a new sensor (don't chuck the old one out as they may want it back). If your results are consistently out by the same amount you may benefit from the xdrip app, which allows you to calibrate the sensor results against your blood sugar readings. Some (luckily not many) people's bodies just don't agree with the libre and they never get good results. I'm unfortunately in that category and had to go back to fingerpricks after 8 months of libre use. (I became allergic to the sensor and the results when haywire). [/QUOTE]
