To clarify the confusion I got given that information on the post from reddit, I guess I shouldn't have taken a random credit user at their word and actuly checked it was on their website.

Were they based in the UK and had the information for libre 2/2+ or in a different country eg America is quite popular on Reddit and they have different versions of the libre sensors in different countries
I find some libre sensors have a large offset, I think it's down to whether I've got it in just the right location (not too close to muscle is my working assumption, I don't have a very large area to stick them into). XDrip+ allows calibration of the ones that aren't too far out of range, though sometimes it's so far off I have to get a replacement - see my thread here: https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/cgm-log-how-long-do-they-last-why-do-they-fail.114108
I seem to be rather failure-prone, though fwiw I feel my Bluetooth failures are now significantly reduced by only ever scanning the sensor once to pair it with Juggluco (this is likely to do with my phone rather than the app) rather than doing so if there's a Bluetooth drop-out (which still happen, but tend to come back after less than an hour, and often much less time)
It's a massive PITA (especially if the calibration is really rubbish a few days in and I need to put a new senor on the other arm which hasn't had a chance to heal), but c'est la vie for the time being.
