Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marco7757" data-source="post: 1559161" data-attributes="member: 185220">My health insurance just recently started covering the Libre and I'm using it for about a week now.What I learned is that, in my experience, the time-lag seems to be larger than five minutes: more like 15. This makes it very difficult in times of large fluctuations in your blood sugar.I do not want to go so far as to say the Libre becomes useless in times of fluctuations because it is still better to see a curve and a tendency instead of only a single point in time. But I dare not depend on the Libre alone. It shows normal values when I'm low, it shows tendencies downwards when I'm already recuperating from a hypo. In these cases, it is better to test manually.Other than that, the Libre seems to be pretty accurate for me (+/- 0.5mmol/l), taking the time lag into account, of course.Where did you read about ways to improve the accuracy? This seems to be not possible to me. If possible, Abbott would boost the accuracy of the device at all times, wouldn't they?</blockquote>
