[QUOTE="gb350, post: 2754525, member: 49957"] Thankyou for the responses. I always return faulty sensors to abbott. In fairness to them they do send replacements very quickly. I personally don't think getting a quick replacement is the problem here. The unreliability and inaccuracy of the product is my issue. I am grateful for the Diabox tip-off and will definitely look into their app. Being able to calibrate the sensor seems like a ridiculously sensible thing to do. So sensible, that you would have thought the manufacturer would enable it through their own software, rather than have people relying on a third party. I'm able to shift the parameters on my Contour next one app and have moved the low bar down to 3 mmol/L , a level which works fine for me. I can happily test myself 50 times a week with green lights all the way. In the testing experiment mentioned in my original post I did 12 side by side tests. The Contour next one meter gave me 12 results in range. The Libre 2 sensor gave me 7 in range and 5 out of range. I don't find that acceptable at all. Last night I retired to bed at around 10.30 pm with a reading of 5.8mmol/L on my sensor having eaten a moderately mid carb meal of steak, chips and salad at 6pm and dosed accordingly. According to my Libre 2 sensor my BG level dropped into the red at 1am and bobbled along at around 3mmol/L until 6am. When I got up at 7am it was showing 7mmol/L. Is this unusual? No. This is a regular occurrence. Compression low? Who knows. I was absolutely fine this morning with zero ill effects from apparently being hypoglycaemic all night. One side by side test today at 2pm, which had meter reading of 7.8mmol/L and a Libre 2 reading of 10.7mmol/L with a diagonally up arrow indicated. Thanks to Antje77 for acknowledging I'm not the only one trying their best with bad data. [/QUOTE]
