[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2426973, member: 507802"] I also have contour next and Libre 2, and a code free for Ketones. Usually the Libre and contour are within 1 mmol of each other. Remember if you are driving you still have to finger prick beforehand. Also if I am ill and going over 13 I find the Libre doesn’t always keep up and I have to double check with the contour next, but apart from this I love the Libre, I feel a lot more confident getting on with my day as my range can vary widely and quickly and a lot of things other than food effect my levels eg the weather, carrying something heavy, walking the dog in the cold, having a cold, getting stressed…..I was given about 3 other monitors before having the contour next, being told this one is a bit better. Haven’t been offered another one since and I am happy with the contour next. Good you are getting a Libre to try, honeymoon period is very frustrating, constant changes! When you put the Libre on, wait 24 hrs before activating it by scanning. It will be much more accurate straight away. [/QUOTE]
