[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1351884, member: 53162"] Great post [USER=308179]@banjobongo[/USER] The libre is an incredibly useful piece of kit - I wore mine last week whilst skiing so it would be easier to scan my arm than finger prick on the slopes and it was useful however if high or even low it is a delayed reading so can be out by up to 3 mmol/l compared to my normal meter. As I swam most days I picked up some 3M large waterproof plasters from the chemist to keep my sensor under cover - I would suggest this to anyone who is active and wishes to wear one as it's a good shield from damage. For overnight trends it's also brilliant so you can see what your fasting basal rate looks like too. My personal thought as it's not approved by the DVLA for driving is that it would be great if the NHS could offer to parents of type 1 kids who want to monitor their children's levels without the intrusion of testing lots, also great for when kids are asleep to give mums and dad's peace of mind that their little ones are ok.
