Just wanted to see what people's experience of the libre is ? If you've been lucky enough to purchase one that is.
Personally my experience is that the device is not reliable enough to justify the continued expense. I appreciate there is the so called 15 minute lag but I'm actually finding that the blood sample and the scan are nearly always a very different story. There is often 1.5- 2 units difference and that surely can't be right ? As it stands I can't use the device with any confidence and as a result I'm having to check my bloods a lot -which begs the question... Is it worth it ?
I so want to it to work but I'm bitterly disappointed at the moment.
Has anyone else been checking there blood vs scan and is anyone having the same problem ?
