[QUOTE="Westley, post: 2639147, member: 254425"] The Libre has been a huge help for me in achieving better control, but I never fully trust it, and strongly disagree about the advice that finger prick checks are unnecessary. I've had some sensors that give crazy false low readings in the first day or 2 then settle down, others that work fine then start getting slightly less accurate towards the last few days, some that stay consistently shifted a few units up or down, and some that just give nonsense and have to be removed. Still, I'd say over 90% have been plenty accurate enough to use for the full 2 weeks. I do extra finger checks over the first couple of days, and have found that if it behaves for that long it generally stays fairly accurate for the rest. (The exception being times I've knocked it enough to shift the filament without fully dislodging the sensor, which leads to a bunch of fake lows then having to take it off). [/QUOTE]
