[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1579909, member: 185674"] I am sorry DL, I forgot I moved through many Roche meters through the years, think the last ones were Roche AccuCheck 'Compact' and then the last being the 'Mobile'. So yes, you have a control test solution. But it has nothing to do with calibrating the device. As you cant calibrate them. In any case, I am sad to hear the Libre system does not appear to work correctly for you. I think you mentioned that you even tried many sensors over a very long period of time, so you certainly gave it the chance to show its value. When 'consistently showing a lower bg value' versus classic meter. How much lower and was it throughout the scale from e.g. 4mmol/L to 12mmol/L? I would think the local Abbott rep would be delighted to offer you some attention and further free trial to understand your situation if your measures continuously are off by larger margins. The few T1 individuals I know of that have stopped using the Libre gave the reasons: Costing too much and/or the sensor generated too much irritation on the skin. Some of those have come back now with good results after Abbott improved the glue patch. [/QUOTE]
