I feel I'm getting a lot of benefit from my Libre, but like you, can't afford to use it all the time. I used my first sensor while I was at home, and found out a lot about night time dips, and how long before a meal I needed to do my bolus. i found the Libre was spot on with my meter in the mid range, but the top readings seem higher on the Libre, and the low end ones lower. I've just used my second sensor while I was on holiday, because I thought it would be useful to check if I was going hypo on a long walk. it was useful for that, but it was also frustrating, because I ate more carb than usual, and wasn't usually in a position to bolus half an hour beforehand, so it showed up loads of spikes. We drove back from Scotland today, and stopped for a croissant and coffee at one point, (and I didnt dare do my bolus early in case we got stuck in traffic before we got to the service station) and I shot up to 17 within half an hour! Three hours later, I was back to around 6.
