[QUOTE="Lynne C J, post: 2425799, member: 86485"] I have been using the Freestyle Libra 2 for 12 weeks now and it does take some getting used to after nearly 40 years of finger pricking. Yes, sometimes the readings are higher than My accu-chek but now I rarely bother to do both. I have had problems with the alarms not working on a couple of the sensors. A long round and round discussion with someone on the helpline who insisted I had to have the signal loss alarm on, it was going off so frequently I turned it off. Can't see any reason for having yet more alarms going off all the time. The other day I must have missed out my lunchtime injection, the high glucose alarm should go off at BG above 10.00, I thought I was high and it didn't alarm until I was 23.6! An unusual error on my part I should add. I'm finding that a before bed reading of 7 I have to have a piece of bread to take me through the night. I've had nights of low glucose when the alarm wakes me up 4 times and it's so easy to overdo the lucozade when it keeps going off. Generally very positive but interesting to see how much my BG fluctuates over 24 hours. I've very fit, exercise a lot and my HbA1C is 42 so I generall know what I'm doing. [/QUOTE]
