[QUOTE="JackPurvis, post: 2496006, member: 548525"] I was also recently diagnosed with T1 and was eligible for a libre 2, I’m not sure how many sensors you have gone through so far however my very first sensor was all over the place and was extremely incorrect compared to my finger prick. However as time has gone on the sensors have gotten more and more accurate. However just remember that the libres are at least 15mins behind your BGM and in my experience are more up and down compared to your BGM. For example my Alarm might go off saying I’m low, I wait 10mins and scan my arm and I’m already back up to 6.5, and my BMG never showed a low reading throughout. The best advice I can give is don’t rely solely on the libre and still keep using your BMG from time to time. Take your libre readings with a pinch and use them to sort of get a ball part figure of where your readings are currently at. [/QUOTE]
