[QUOTE="Boo1979, post: 1966794, member: 446715"] The Libre can be very off in its calculations compared to home finger prick blood tests done via a BG meter - when I used the system for a while, the libre readings were often double or half the BG result. Some people seem to encounter more problems than others ranging from inaccuracy to allergic reactions Abbot will usually replace a flakey sensor if you ring and discuss. They will ask for the resturn of the faulty sensor and for comparative BG readings If you self fund, Abbot are very poor at reimbursing you for sensors if you develop an allergic reaction and are unable to continue using the system - I had 6 when I developed an allergic reaction - Abbot would only reimburse me for 2 but in the end reimbursed for none as they said the 2 I returned using the prepaid Abbot return bags, had never been received [/QUOTE]
