[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2453941, member: 6467"] My latest Libre 2 started out (just over a day between application and activation) reading 2.0 high, then 1.5 high after it settled down. After a week it was more or less accurate compared to a finger prick. 4 days to go and I have had two separate low glucose warnings at 3.4 and on the second one the finger prick showed 5.2. Firstly, stop scaring me like that. Secondly, I would love a 3.4 because that would give me some headroom for something nice as I've just bought some lovely sourdough bread for my partner.:arghh: I do find that inaccurate readings exert undue psychological pressure. Reading too high, and I'm "Yeah, well, the sensor is probably reading high but better be extra careful anyway.". Reading too low, and I'm "Wow, I don't feel anything and it is probably a false low, but what if it isn't?". Followed by (today) OK, cool, time for a sneaky treat. Followed by grrrrr.........
