Enlite x Libre Final results

Enlite x Libre  14 days review

The Libre expired yesterday, and we had an amazing experience for 14 days. Overall the numbers were very similar. During the last 2 weeks we changed  the Enlite sensors twice, and Ana used them twice on her arms and the last one on her upper butt.
Enlite has a quicker readings when on the arms. The first calibration when on the arm can be done quicker, and after 2 hours the numbers were spot on. When on her butt we waited much longer for it to calibrate. Just because we know that when on the butt 2 hours are not enough we waited 7 hours and just calibrated after that. Even with this waiting time, there was a significant diference on the first reading after calibration. The Enlite was 120 and Libre / meter around 160. After that we corrected the readings and both began to work on similar numbers again.
The other diference that we note is that the libre filament os thicker than the Enlite. Ana said that the Enlite was painless, but Libre more comfortable.
