[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2292241, member: 101136"] Hi, The higher reading from the Libre with your dad, had they been double checked against a BG meter? I find the Libre can sometimes way out be out? (within 0.6/0.8 I'm personally not so fussed.) but I do calibrate my data with a 3rd party reader app on my phone. I'm not certain what insulin regime your son uses, but your father's looks like fixed dosage, so his diet may need to be more regimented regarding his meal timings & carb content? Unlike an MDI regime. With any insulin use testing is paramount. My father was also T2. Though, was not on exogenous insulin. During a stay in hospital once, a nurse felt his BG in the mid teens was "good." Until I reminded her she was telling a T1 how to suck eggs.. I will tag in [USER=140811]@urbanracer[/USER] , also T1 he may have more recent memories of fixed mixed dosage regimes. [/QUOTE]
