[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2291873, member: 525950"] I’ve seen that this post is a few months old but I still wanted to make a comment. The Freestyle Libre has unfortunately been very inaccurate for me and it has frustrated me. Imagine spending £100 a month for a thing that doesn’t work? Out of 5-6 sensors only 1-2 have been relatively accurate. I’ve experienced different problems with different sensors— some of them incorrect by about 2.5-3.5 from the start, others accurate for 10 days then becoming off by 4 after that, while others work for 10-11 days then suddenly ceases functioning. I’m looking to try the Dexcom G6 but at a price of £159 seems unlikely that I could fund that in the long term (you could get the latest iPhone every year with that money). For me the only options seem to be Dexcom G6 or finger pricking. I’m not even sure if the G6 will work either but will have to try [/QUOTE]
