[QUOTE="PIPPO_PIPPI, post: 1734526, member: 322947"] If I can… All the stuff measuring glycaemia in interstitial fluids is far from being accurate, it's undoubtable. But all them give the basics on which to work to obtain a real continuous sugar monitoring, and this happens applying a Bluetooth transmitter over the sensor, connecting it to a smartphone or smartwatch using XDrip+ APP. All this together allows the full calibration of the sensor, obtaining corrected values that are very close or equal to the glucometer ones. I use FreeStyle Libre from 15 months, with many of the same problems almost all the Libre users have, but from 6 months I have a Bluetooth transmitter over the sensor, and my life changed 180°. Now I make three blood tests a day at worst, if the sensor readings are far from the blood values, otherwise only one, before sleeping. This gives me the possibility to have a safe sleep, without the fear of a sudden hypoglycemic coma during the night, thing that occurred me eleven times in my 57 years of type 1 diabetes. And this, believe me, is a real improvement in my life. Just a suggestion. Bye. Pippo :-) [/QUOTE]
