Anyone using the Libre 3 yet ? I've put my last Libre 2 sensor on today. 2 weeks and it will be Libre 3 all the way.

I have had lots of problems with the Libre 2 sensors. It seems 1 in 3 of the sensors are faulty and then it takes weeks to get a response from Abbot.

Hoping there is some improvement with Libre 3

Libre 3 is a CGM so no more scanning the sensor. There isn't a reader device for it so it have use NFC and bluetooth on smart phone.

Rather apprehensive about using it

I'm trialling libre 3 at the moment and can't find how to customise the alarms I'm sure you must be able to like you can with libre 2. Does anyone know how?

@becca59 wore 2 of these as part of a blind trial. Not sure if she's seen the graphs yet?

Not allowed to see any graphs. It was all done blind. Cannot use the one I was given yet either as only have an I Phone which is not yet compatible.

Oh sorry, I thought you wanted to be able to change the point when an alarm sounded from say 5 to 4.5 etc.
