[QUOTE="kzlorenz, post: 1114955, member: 283466"] Hi, thanks to everybody for their replies. So first, I have been using Freestyle Libre for quite some time but recently I purchased 4 sensors and 3 of them were faulty, I'll try the forth later today... I always place them on the arms where advised. I do know that BG and interstitial fluid glucose can be (slightly) different in concentration, actually IF should match BG after a 10-minute delay. These sensors were giving extremely low readings 2.2-3.5 where in fact BG was ca. 3.0-5.0 mmol.l higher, eventually 2 of these sensors gave permanent error after ca. 24hrs of implant. I am a BIG fan of continuous monitoring but a faulty sensor can be a huge problems especially in children, what if a mum sees 2.2 on her child ??! I contacted Abbott but did not have the greatest costumer care support... Could please anyone who has experienced big porblems with their Freestyle Libre fill in a report at this link: [URL]https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/[/URL] This will eventually help many patients and Abbott to understand how to improve their fantastic (when it works) product. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
