[QUOTE="woodywhippet61, post: 1615533, member: 418778"] I haven't any problems with Abbott BUT I haven't had to put an order in since the November date that they were going to be paid for by the NHS. I have noticed that several people on Facebook have been complaining about not being able to get sensors. I also order online using my macbook. I've had good responses from them when I've complained about how far out the sensors are which is why I have Freestyle testing strips. I have only had one sensor fall off and they replaced it. Two observations. I am retired so I have a fairly easy lifestyle and I believe that my bgl's reflect this. However when I go and do something which I find challenging or new my bloods go up by 2 - 2.5 (liver dump). Given your job I wonder how that affects your bgl's? My first sensor (when my bgl's were high) defo seemed to react as other people's do i.e. closer to a finger prick. Once I'd got my levels down and flatish (graph) then that's when they went really low. My levels came down like that by 10 days - 2 weeks. But that doesn't seem to have happened for others? Given your lifestyle I would have thought that the Libre was best suited to it. I love the fact that I can be walking along or sitting at a table in a pub waiting for lunch and can just test.
