[QUOTE="barrym, post: 1597209, member: 70535"] When comparing libre against a meter why does everyone assume that the meter is correct? I must admit that in my early use I did too, but what evidence is there that the meters are the benchmark? As I understand it, both have to be within 15% of LAB RESULTS! So there's every chance that the meter is equally as wrong. I think that Abbott have contributed to this situation by being so keen to please that they swap the sensor at the slightest suggestion that you have detected an inaccuracy. I for one are now believing it. I seldom check against the meter, except for the recommended times we all know about. Thankfully not frequent. [/QUOTE]
