[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2097769, member: 374531"] Libre would benefit from per user calibration, but you're not going to turn a hundred billion market cap company round anytime soon on that, they're individually calibrating L2 instead of batch cal on L1 which might improve matters, but comes nowhere near the third party cal accuracy of xdrip via blucon/miaomiao. These things are used primarily by T1s to monitor hour to hour changes in bg, some of which might result in really nasty hypos if we didn't have cgm. Accuracy of hba1c measured by cgm is irrelevant in this context. T1s look at the cgm line, the estimated a1c is just a bit of additional info. My last measured hospital a1c was 31, xdrip estimated it at 35, I was like, hmm, so what, I spend more time looking at the line, the delta, and after the event the tir, sd, median, etc. A1c on any of these things is just a passing glance.
