[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1502390, member: 295621"] Hello, it's a very good system - I'm sure you'll love it. A lot of us find that it's best to leave the sensor 'un-started' for 12-24 hours before firing it up. I think it allows trauma at the insertion site to calm down a bit. There's also the latency issue as well, so you might find the Libre value to be 10-20 minutes behind your actual BG. This can be an issue when your BG is rapidly changing. There is no least expensive method for sourcing the Libre sensors. I think they're about £48 from Abbott direct after the VAT has been deducted. [/QUOTE]
