[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2226634, member: 372717"] Hmm, the libre is known to have issues for some people. Many use it more for trends rather than to try to calculate bolus amounts. An issue is that the libre does not allow you to calibrate it with a blood test, unlike the Dexcom which does, Some people get round this by adding some conversion software (xdrip?) so that they calibrate the sensor with a blood test and then let the conversion software convert the reader's result to a more accurate reading. Personally, my body is incompatible with the libre and the results from it are completely random (anything from 90 under to a normal reading to giving no result at all). This is probably because I'm allergic to the sensor and there's no point in me continuing with the device as it just doesn't work for me. In your position I'd either invest in some software to allow you to calibrate the libre against your glucometer results, or move to a product such as the Dexcom which allows you to calibrate via a blood test. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
