[QUOTE="MarkD72, post: 2704541, member: 565146"] I took up the free trial Libre2, the new one that gives 15 days rather than 14 as having been diagnosed T2 18 months ago thought I would give it a go more out of curiosity than anything. But I 100% will not be self funding it as like another poster said it gives me consistently higher readings than a finger prick. I would say it is 9 times out 10 giving a reading in the 7s or 8s and when I finger prick I am low 6s. Literally just done a finger prick of 6.2 and Libre telling me 7.7. Basically lost all faith in it tbh so wont bother again and only wanted to try and see if there were any patterns to my levels that would be useful to me to understand so could work around them. Have my yrly A1C next month so be interesting what that comes back as last time I relied solely on finger pricks and had a result of 5.7 although was strict keto then. Not so strict now but would still expect a result in the low to middle 6's. [/QUOTE]
