Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antje77" data-source="post: 2657820" data-attributes="member: 372207">For what it's worth, I'm a T1 and have used Libre for over 6 years.I couldn't do so without also using fingerpricks, for me, Libres tend to read lower than blood by 0.8-2.0 mmol/l. For others, the Libre tends to read a tad higher than blood, and some find they are usually spot on.Fingerpricks are great for absolute numbers, Libre is wonderful for patterns and trends, and to be aware you're dropping before you're actually low.Because my Libres are consistently reading lower than blood, I use an alternative app in tandem to the official LibreLink app. This app called DiaBox has the possibility to calibrate, and it allows for more different alarm settings.Not in the playstore, and only on Android I think.There are different alternative apps for iPhone, just ask if you're interested, we have many members knowing how to set them up.</blockquote>
