Why isn't this free like all the other blood testing machines... There would be more chance of me using it than....

I had a similar experience to you with my first sensor. Poor accuracy and unpredictable. My sensor fell off, albeit when I was in the midst of a rock concert so I can only blame myself.Hi
I'm in the process of using the libre but I'm not convinced. The first sensor fell off after seven days even though I'd followed their instructions carefully. Within the seven days I compared libre readings to my bg finger prick readings. I expected a bit of a difference but they were really quite different. I had a reading saying I was 3.5 but when I did finger prick I was 7.2 so lost a bit of trust then. My Dan told me to speak to libre to get the sensor replaced which was 25 minutes of torture. The libre guy was a nightmare asking me the same questions repeatedly. To top it all I ended up with a phone bill of £20 for ringing a number that was supposed to be free. All in all not a great experience and I'm wondering if it is worth the money if it is so inaccurate. If I don't trust it I can't depend on it. Am I the only one with this degree of difference in readings?

How far out are your readings exactly and what BGL meter are you using?Hi Grant. I put another sensor on last week so hope it will stay on this time but the difference between readings isn't improving
