[QUOTE="CheeseSeaker, post: 2680420, member: 531814"] I find Libre 'variable' during its 2 week cycle First few days you get 'insertion trauma' - readings are skewed as your body has to get used to the sensor under the skin (offset this by inserting a day before starting it) Secondly I use software that lets me add calibrations to the readings, so if its always high or low from BGs - you can adjust the figures to match the real ones. (I use xDrip but there are alternatives) Thirdly remember a Libre is at lease 20 mins behind a blood test, if your rising or falling it takes time for it to register. Glad you're enjoying it - I've been using them a long time as I wanted BG on my watch with alarms on lows at night. They got me started down the path of a Fully-closed-loop (automated DIY pancreas) which is amazing, a long path but worth the effort, I now drink orange juice as a food rather than a hypo treatment :-) My loop just handles it without fuss [/QUOTE]
