    Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    @Addaia01 switch the signal alarms off. Did that years ago I know when the alarm goes off there is a specific reason.

    Type 1 Dexcom v Libre

    This applies to closed loop along with people who find managing the condition hard and have a high HbA[emoji637]c. The criteria for just pumps are still strict and very few people make the grade unfortunately.

    CGM - Where do you wear yours ?

    @oldtypeone you can request the Dexcom one, it is on the list with Libre as an alternative and they cannot actually refuse if you ask to switch.

    HbA1c result

    Are you taking statins. I discovered you shouldn’t take vitamin D if on them as it doubles their level.

    Accupuncture

    Had acupuncture for sciatica many years ago. Mixed results. Immediate, yes but not long term unfortunately. Found it relaxing though.

    Exercising while fasting

    And yet I have to inject before and after swimming. I inject, swim, inject and eat a [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] carb fruit and yoghurt breakfast.

    Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    @Hobo1960 I have had sensors in all different places on my arms. (Even when doing numerous trials for the research team) it has made no difference. There are lots of Type 1s wearing on legs, chests and stomachs. Also with good accuracy.

    Off to see HR and my boss this afternoon

    Absolutely good advice. Had a husband about to be let go some years ago. When he told them he was bringing them to the meeting the tune changed. He successfully completed two more years at work before retirement.

    Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    I don’t feel we’re missing anything. My TIR is excellent I’ve only had two hypos in the last three months. If I feel the sensor is miss behaving I do increase blood tests. But the truth is pre Libre we were not on board with what our levels were constantly and micro managing them. We did blood...

    Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

    Yet I too am on Libre two, I phone twelve mini, and the same update with no issues. By the way I haven’t had the signal lost signal on since I started using my phone. Too irritating! Beeping every time I go into a different room or pop to the garden. You would probably be less aware of signal...

    Librelink problem

    The trouble is when having multiple doses and corrections it’s amazing how quickly you forget when you took insulin. I like the fact that it holds the information and you can download when you have time. I’ve found them a godsend.

    Sensors, sunscreen and the sea

    Tried to delete above but it won’t let me. Google Libre two on Amazon. I buy the round clear ones. Being using them years as I swim regularly. Never had one come off.
