[QUOTE="Thrill, post: 1733769, member: 469106"] Hi all, After seeing this place littered with the words 'Libre', I went ahead and ordered the kit. It arrived and the sensors now in my arm but I'm confused about what all the fuss is about and I'm also worried I'm missing something or using it incorrectly. After a few days using it I'm doing twice the work as I'm checking my BG with a finger test more than usual vs trusting the Libre. I appreciate it's not blood and isn't as accurate but it's worryingly inaccurate. One scan will be 10+ MMOL the next will be 4.5 within 15 minutes. I have zero faith in the device a few days in. I'm confused because all I see at the moment is a poor quality (the reader is awfully tacky!) overpriced monitoring solution. The graphs are cool but the sensors are that inaccurate, I may as well not waste my time looking at them. Please enlighten me somebody! One half of is ready to send it back and getting a refund, but the other half wants to make the most out of it. Thanks all. Don't take this is a nag, it's purely my initial thoughts of using the Libre after excitedly waiting weeks for it. I feel a tad let down. [/QUOTE]
