[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1589663, member: 94045"] I should add to my previous post: Like [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] my Libres read low, but are consistent. I do lots of calibrations with my two meters. Because the Libre reads low I always add 1mmol/l to the averages it comes up with (and it never runs as much as 1mmol/l lower) and still the averages are nowhere near the 7.3 the HbA1c gives me. In fact, the Libre I was wearing up to a few days before my last HbA1c gave me an average of 5.1mmol/l. So in my head that was 6.1mmol/l, which was more or less the same as my finger prick averages. Where did the HbA1c of 44 come from? Also like Brunneria, I much prefer them to be higher than lower. Lower would lead me to a false sense of security, so I do sympathise with [USER=317494]@phdiabetic[/USER] . Wouldn't it be lovely if one size did fit all?. [/QUOTE]
