[QUOTE="Rosie9876, post: 2761427, member: 595763"] Thank you, I will check on whether another fingerprick lancet makes a difference. I have to say, though, that one of the nurses was as hopeless as I am at getting sufficient blood, so it could be I'm just inept. I've learned that the Libre generally gives lower results, but if and how much lower is unpredictable. But as Libre know this, it is remiss of them to set the target range at 3.9 to 10 mmol/L, same as fingerprick range. Before I realised it, it gave me a false sense of security that I wasn't going above 10 often, and never above 13. Now this 2 point something range has to be scary when one is sleeping, especially as I don't feel well Really I find it only useful for following the spikes. Are any other CGMs more accurate?
