We've found them to be pretty reliable here. They tend to lose accuracy for extreme highs and lows, but when it's within 80-250 it's pretty spot on with our blood meter.

xDrip also has a feature that will calibrate the libre with pokes which increases the accuracy.

We never bolus off the libre's readings though, but it's fantastic for trends and seeing spikes and crashes in real-time. For example, I can see that my son is high af between 8am to 11am (post breakfast spike), so I've tweaked his basal rate a few times so that he's always in range now during that time period with no crashing afterwards.

I mean, I would love a dexcom over the libre any day of the week, but I'll take what I can get here in Vietnam.

Where do you get the MiaoMiao transmitter in Vietnam? I need to get one for my dad (thanks to your comment), but my google-fu didn't work out for it.
We got ours from https://miaomiao.cool/ but it took almost 2 months to get. I'd also order extra stickers.

If you need xdrip4ios, let me know and I can put it on testflight for you.

I just ordered from http://miaomiao.cool
