[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1599008, member: 410240"] Sorry this is complex, but people oten claim it is not! I expect you never studies stats to at least A level, and also you don't know the difference between "accurate" and "repeatable" when doing scientific experiments. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision[/URL] explains some of the maths behind it. Both meters and the Libre keep to the same [B]standard [/B]for "accurate", but a meter is often more "accurate" then the standard says it has to be. The standard does not cover "repeatable". Remember that even how quickly someone puts the top back on the test strip container can effect both "accurate" and "repeatable"! And in the real would no one washes and dries their hands in the correct way before using a meter. Given the option between a Libre and a meter to make life and death chooses [B]based on a single reading[/B] I know what I would choose, however my choose would not be the same if I wished to investage how to imporve my BG control...... (Libre has the great advanage of telling you the direction your BG is moving in that is often more useful then knowing the value itsself unless the value is very low.) [/QUOTE]
