[QUOTE="Fndwheelie, post: 2124150, member: 447317"] Ok, so this is probably a bit of a rant/moan about libre, but I want to know what you think is too far out to be accurate? I guess I’ve been lucky, I’ve probably used 10 sensors since starting on it and I was happy enough with the scans Vs finger prick variations. Usually my libre is lower than finger pricks by 0.5-0.7 not really more than 1mmol/l which is fine I can see trends etc and I’m not under false pretences, nothing is 100% accurate. My sensor I attached Wednesday, and activated at 4pm yesterday (Thursday) didn’t look too bad yesterday evening, I never pricked to compare it. This morning when I woke up I scanned and it was too low to to give me a reading, but I was awake, refreshed and feeling fine. I have attached my comparisons, and libre graph for 24 hours, showing a lot of time in the red since starting the new sensor, but I don’t believe I was hypo at all. I contacted abbot about 9am but they needed more comparisons before they do anything, I gotta phone back this evening. Would you be pressing for them to replace this sensor if you saw these variations in readings? What level of difference would/do you accept? Edit: forgot to be specific about waiting to activate it.
