[QUOTE="Liaquila, post: 2257585, member: 523584"] Hi. I've used to get very low readings in Libre compared to finger blood. So it showed me beyond my low limit almost all the time. I'm in Brasil and use mg/dl. It showed 30 to 25 points of difference even when the arrow in libre was horizontal. For example my finger showed 90mg/dl (totally normal) and Libre showed 60mg/dl (hipo). I even quited using Libre for a time. About six months ago I read somewhere in the Internet that to improve readings you must be VERY WELL hidrated. I put an app in my phone to help me control the total amount of water I take every day (I have to drink around 2,6 lt to stay hidrated). All of the sudden my Libre is very very close to my finger measures. And it has been wonderful!!! Now I even bolus sometimes based on the Libre alone (when the arrow is horizontal). I would recommend that you control the water intake for some days and see if Libre improves. For me it has solved the problem, but if I have a day that I'm not drinking enough water, diet coke doesn't count :-( Libre readings get low again... Hope it helps! Liliana [/QUOTE]
