[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2351780, member: 465882"] Just something to think about for you guys, I was one of the first people to be placed on Libre trials In my clinic. When I first started using it I was highly addicted & my control became really good, the only problem I was having was that Libre kept showing me to be under 4.0 when I was actually still around the 5mmol mark. I remember going for a check up with my consultant and only talking my Libre with me & not my blood testing machine, he looked at the results and instantly said “you’ve lost hypo awareness’ I went on to explain that when the Libre was reading low I was actually a fair bit higher but I had no evidence to back it up. He recorded on my file I had lost hypo Awareness & informed me he was going to contact dvla. Luckily the consultant I saw that day wasnt the guy I normally see, so soon as I left the clinic I managed to get a phone call with him. Arranged to go straight back down the hospital immediately & get things put right. Realistically I could of lost my license that day. If you feel the Libre is constantly reading you lower than you are make sure you blood test to back it up. That would be my advice [/QUOTE]
