[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2143887, member: 372717"] You absolutely need to double check your readings against a glucometer before you panic. OK, so I'm probably now one of those for whom the libre will never work, but my current sensor (bought after a six month break to see if I'm still allergic) reads LO whenever my blood sugar is below about 5.5 mmol/L reads 2 to 3 too low when my blood sugar is between 10 and 12 reads up to 6 too low when my blood sugar is between 5 and 10 OK, that's pretty useless, and Abbott have sent me a free replacement sensor, but it still works a bit (ie I know I'm not hypo if it isn't reading LO :)). And I was very happy with the libre when it worked for me, which was for about 8 months before I became allergic. [/QUOTE]
