[QUOTE="Doug_Kettlewell, post: 1451596, member: 222602"] I'm in the lucky position of being able to afford to buy the sensors, so have been using for 6 months now. Please do not rely on the figures, I have a feeling (confirmed by my consultant) that they are not as accurate as a finger test. I have found that, particularly when LO is shown on the free style meter, a finger test is at 3.0+. It is very good for showing a trend. I am using it to adjust the amount of food I eat and adjust my insulin dosage. In case you're wondering I have had type 1 for over 41 years. I still fondly remember the Carbohydrate Countdown books, which were invaluable before packaging had to show carbohydrate values of the products. [/QUOTE]
