[QUOTE="elephantsocks, post: 2424264, member: 542825"] I have found Libre 2 to be quite inaccurate for my 9 year old son. We were getting readings that were about 2mmol/l higher on the Libre when he was in range and could be about 5mmol/l higher if he was above 10. I have found that using a Miao Miao 2 with it has made it much better. Strangely, even without calibration the Miao Miao will give a more accurate reading than the Libre 2 even if you take the readings at the same time. I have no idea why this is but it works for us. Abbot did say to me that if we provide 3 examples of inaccurate readings (compared with finger pricks) then they would replace the sensor, but I’ve found that they are out so often that even if they replaced them it wouldn’t be much good. I don’t know if it’s just a biochemistry thing with my son, but I find it strange that the Miao Miao can get an accurate reading off the same sensor so I tend to think it must be the algorithm. The other problem we have is the “try again in 10 minutes” message which seems to happens at pretty much any time that we *need* to know his blood glucose (e.g. change of direction/fast rise or fall). Again, Miao Miao sorts this out as it just gives the readings anyway. It will also continue to give readings for about an hour after his sensor has officially ended, which is helpful if we haven’t been organised about placing his new one. Bottom line, Miao Miao 2 has solved most of our problems with the Libre 2. I bought it off eBay second hand so it was about half the price. I know you (OP) shouldn’t have to buy it and you might not want to but we found that it does help. Obviously that’s just us. [/QUOTE]
