Thanks for everyone's input on the above it's been interesting reading everyone's thoughts. I've developed a system that works for me personally and I'm a bit more relaxed than I was at the start of my post DKA diagnosis just over a year ago. I use finger pricks to do my dosing and libre to give me an idea of how things are going on generally. I'm comfortable cruising in the 4's until about 4.5 when I would nudge my levels. I don't want to take unnecessary sugar especially when libre likes to ping off then suddenly your not low as it changes as it does. Libre reads about 1 mmol below a finger prick for me which I'm happy with.
For me the finger prick guides my dosing as mentioned above I don't do tonnes of of pricks a day just to add. This works for me with libre combined. I actively change Basal/Bolus analysing patterns not reacting with more insulin unless i need to if I react too much likes to back fire with hypos etc
