The interstitial libre readings are meant to lag behind the blood sugar ones by 10 to 15 minutes.

Some people also find that the libre is inaccurate, particularly on the first day (or two) of application.

Can you be more specific about your issue?

In the US the Libre is only rated for 10 days with a 12 hour initiation cycle - to allow readings to settle down.
