[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 2077257, member: 30007"] There are a couple of differences between the Libre 2 and Libre, so it's a bit risky to draw parallels. [LIST=1] [*]The calibration model is different (per sensor instead of per lot) [*]Apparently the app/handset algorithm is different (although that may just be to deal with the calibration changes) [/LIST] I know a couple of people currently using it in Germany who are pretty pleased with the results, and think it's quite an improvement on the Libre, but I'd agree with [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] , in that the values it produces are very delayed, considerably more so than those of the Dexcom G6 it turns out. For those in the UK who are interested in when it will be available, as far as we know, there have been no announcements made for that date. According to various Abbott literature, when it is made available, it will be a straight swap at the same cost as the Libre, so should just come through the NHS if you are lucky enough to have them on prescription.
