[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1993813"] [USER=500850]@Capt-Slog[/USER] Arh! "accuracy" the one word that gets bound around and can get some people very upset. The problem is that nothing is 100% accurate even the blood test meters that you finger prick for because, it is mentioned on the forum in many places, they only have to be ~I think~ 15 - 20% accurate ([USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER] can correct on that). The Libre, as you may now, works off the interstitial fluid and so will lag behind bloods, which is why many of us use the xDrip, Glimp, Spike because they allow calibrations so can make them more "accurate". It is just more an 'educated guess' BUT close enough to allow you to mange T1 :) For me these things are way way better than back in the day when it used to be 5 drops of urine + 10 drops of water mix in a tube add tablet and get a colour, all of which could be anything up to 6-8 hours out :) [/QUOTE]
