Is there any point with libra?

[Vamppir8]

Been hypo/hyper all week, reacting to libra. Tested with test strips no where near. Put new one on other arm. What's the point? I know it's 15 minutes behind but really? I'm jabbing when it's 4 out! Been hypo on 6, test then test 3.0. My lips and tounge went numb yesterday, looked it up, never had it before, libra 5.4, no idea how low I was, never had that in 7 years.

Left 10 days old, middle 1 day old, right blood monitor 2 hours after eating. I would have corrected 1 unit, then hypo half hr later.

Libre 2 is NOT 15 minutes behind.

Libre sensors read interstitial fluids which react 15 minutes behind blood sugars but the algorithm Libre uses to convery from interstitial fluid to blood sugars takes this 15 minutes into consideration.

It looks more likely that your sensor is faulty.
However, I am concerned that many of us are starting to rely too much on CGMs to tell us when we are hypo. We need to retain our hypo sensitivity as technology can fail.

So true, thinking of going back to strips, do I really care what happens in middle. That and drs won't give out test strips if you have Libra. Glad I always check before driving, the amount of times it says 6 and in fact 3 plus.
