Thread 'Libre 2 Plus - Worsening variation between sensor readings and glucose meter readings after around 8 days'

So, I have vaguely posted about this issue before in other threads about the Libre, but I wanted to post about it here in more detail just to get a little insight from users going through a similar problem.

Hi there, Coffeemonster.

I'm also a new user of the Libre 2 Plus sensors. Aside from the 15 day lifespan, I haven't noticed anything specific about the plus sensors that differs much from the Libre 2 sensors.

Here's the link if you want to take a look yourself: https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/products/freestyle-libre-2-plus-sensor.html
