[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1859540"] I have found Libre to be accurate when compaired to finger pricks, certainly with in less than one point difference. However, I have found that when using it in the place as Abbott suggest, the back of the arm, I found that it could be a bit of a differnce between Libre and Finger Pricks so next time I change I might do as some others which is attach it to my arm and let it "bed in" for 24hours before activating. As [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] says it is good for spotting 'trends' and espically when changing insulins as I am currently. Others have found that sometimes their skin does not get on with the sticky stuff that the sensor uses. So try before investing a fair amount of brass :) [/QUOTE]
