[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2142516, member: 372717"] I would agree with this, my first experience with the libre was as life changing as my first experience with a glucometer (yes, before that all you could do was test to see if you were passing sugar into your urine). But.... the libre has some issues 1) it works perfectly for some 2) some individual sensors can be (very) inaccurate, particularly in first 24 hours 3) some people get results which show trends but are never accurate enough to us to choose insulin doses from 4) it is fairly notoriously inaccurate overnight (reads low if you lie on it) and for low blood sugars (test before you take glucose unless you've learnt that it's accurate for you). 4) some people develop severe allergies So, if it works for you it is magic, but be cautious about using it without checking with a blood test on occasion.
