[QUOTE="sepuku, post: 786002, member: 128933"] No it doesn't, but the Libre has been approved for dosing insulin based off the results - so there's no need to perform blood glucose finger prick tests, unless a) (obviously) your symptoms are telling you something different to the machine, and b) you are rapidly dropping or rising (which the reader shows you). In my 2 week stint with a Libre, I found the sensor to reflect my symptoms more accurately than the blood glucose meter built into the Omnipod. I used to get hypo symptoms when I hit the high 4's on the Omnipod meter. I swiped with the Libre, and it showed low 3's. CGM's have a much longer lag time than the Libre, so you'd still need to do blood glucose tests before dosing insulin. [/QUOTE]
