[QUOTE="jackois, post: 1173676, member: 99684"] Well, I suspect that my love affair with the Libre is about to end. I've written before with respect to my body rejecting the sensors and each sensor leaving a worse and worse mark on my arm to the point where the sensors were failing & falling off due to the sore under it weeping. Having taken almost a year off, I fitted a sensor a month ago and to my surprise it was like fitting the first one, no discomfort, worked extremely well and only left the sort of mark that having a plaster on for a fortnight would. The latest one, fitted 4 days ago felt wrong almost from the start, was running 1 to 2 mmol higher, although trending well. Over the next couple of days, I started getting discomfort from the sensor site until yesterday, playing golf, it started showing me going lower and lower until it no longer read. Blood testing showed my levels to be fine & the sensor came back into range a little time later before starting 'sensor not found' message and finally coming off. As ever, Abbott's customer service have been first class and are replacing the sensor. They've asked for a photograph of the wound which I'll send and see if they can come up with a solution. It's a shame, as the device was a revolution while I could use it. I'll try once more on the 'good' arm, but suspect it'll have the same result. Meanwhile, I'll wait for the first proper non-intrusive tester to hit the market and see how that does. [/QUOTE]
