[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2524364, member: 372717"] I find it more accurate than the libre 1 (which wouldn't be difficult, as my allergy resulted in the libre 1 readings going completely out of sync with my actual readings). It sometimes reads a bit low with a new sensor (top tip, don't start a sensor at night) and I think it's the nature of the technology that sometimes you get a bad sensor, not sure whether that's location (sensor reacting with skin) or the sensor itself. It's worth checking against a bg strip occasionally to make sure a sensor is in range, and, of possible, double check a hypo. But I love my dexcom, the hypo alerts in particular. (I have a history of occasional somewhat dicey hypo awareness if I have too many hypos.) [/QUOTE]
