[QUOTE="noyahO21, post: 2065193, member: 311368"] Hello I suggest you talk with your Endocrinologist and / or Diabetes Educator for advice. FYI, I’ve stopped using the Libre sensors after a year. I was disappointed when my Hba1c result went up to 7.5% from 6.7% after my Libre was showing I had 85% of my readings in target over the past 3 months. I did one month of paired testing, ie used Libre plus finger prick which showed the Libre is clearly inaccurate. Bsls were consistently anywhere between 2-5 mmol higher, average 3mmol higher. Hence reason my Hba1c increased after being no higher than 6.7% for the past 20+ years. I now check my blood sugar only using the Libre Reader which stores all my data. I’m very disappointed that I’ve had to revert to finger pricking but at least it’s accurate. I’ve had Type 1 diabetes for 52 years since age 3. My daughter, age 20, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes a year ago also had the same experience with the Libre over the past 6 months. She has also reverted to finger pricking/bsl checking. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
