This is what I like to see

[Robin]

New sensor just started, after waiting patiently for 24 hrs (I always find that the difficult bit).
Libre reading taken ten minutes after meter reading, to allow for time lag.

 

[Northerner]

Hurrah! 🙂 Hope it continues to work so accurately! 🙂 I find the 24 hour wait interminable! 😱

Verrry nice

Nice one, Robin. I’m fitting a new reader this afternoon, ready for the death of my current one tomorrow. Isn’t this fun?

This time round on the Libre, after being on a break, I have “stuck” mine on the day before and it has made a difference. The first one back on after our break ( we are now completely reconciled) was reading in the twos and meter was reading in sixes. I started a new one yesterday afternoon and the first Libre reading and meter reading were exactly the same! Definitely the way forward!

I've only started one sensor before 24 hours and it was next to useless, often reading LO through the night - never again! I'm on a break at the moment, might start a new one next week, my fingers are getting sore! 😱 🙂

I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to Type1 sensors libre insulin etc Robin but glad you are pleased with your new thingymajig🙂

 

[Flower]

It's a thing of beauty for sure @Robin 🙂

 

[HOBIE]

I like my Libre too. Good stuff Robin 😎

 

[New-journey]

I am missing mine, big sigh.
But very happy for you and great they are the same!

 

[AJLang]

That's wonderful Robin. I've really been struggling recently with my Libre giving relevant results compared to finger pricking.

I like the fact that the Libre device is pointing at the Accu-Chek one 🙂

[Straying off topic] Swanky bit of kit that Libre reader but surely can't be long before you can transmit the reading direct to a mobile.

I think you already can with android phones.

You can certainly use an Android as a reader, but you still have to swipe. But I think someone (@David Garbutt?) was mentioning an unofficial Bluetooth add on that turns it into something more like a CGM, ie it reads it automatically, and can be programmed to set alarms.

I put an order in for more libre sensors on 1st November, website says out of stock for at least 14 days.

That's bad. Actually out of stock, not just the 'may take up to two weeks to fulfil your order'? That message was showing when I ordered mine last week, but in fact they arrived within a couple of days, faster than normal!

 

[Ljc]

I’ve just this minute placed and order for some sensors. Their was no notice re being out of stock.

 

[grovesy]

I have read reports of it showing up out of stock on and off over the last few weeks.

 

[Northerner]

At least if they are running low on stock that means you're unlikely to get something with a short-dated expiry 🙄

Thats what I was thinking.
