i'd like to put some minds at possible rest. The limit max which you have said above is "goodwill" that is for sensors replaced which were not faulty, rather a user error or other issue such as removing for a mri scan or whatever else... it further makes the reference to 2 dexcom...

libre 4.7 off for swim later :) felt so weird without libre for a few days. curious how long it will take for the replacement for the doa one.

Calibration is great when works. Best calibrate when graph shows flat as possible. no point calibrating eg blood sugar on downwards trend it still uses interestrial fluids same if upwards trend. There are 3rd party apps around which can give libre sensor same calibration control

theres a couple of options available which will allow you check to see how you handle various carbs. If you've not used the product before. dexcom1 has a 10day trial can sign up for https://dexcom.com/en-GB/one-plus-campaign-sample? abbotts has a 15 day trial can sign up for...

depends on location being scanned. allowed to keep it for lower back. Have been warned that will be completely non reliables afterwards for usually a period of an hour afterwards, sometimes it can take upto couple of hours before accuracy becomes within its usual error margin. very very...

5.8 fingerprick hot already swim in a bit & walk later :)

2plus was recent update that changed... txt. when pricked finger at end of swim ... 2.6 blood glucose :F

i did MOST of the time.. however it was not always possible nor practical. if i was lower than 'desired' i wouldn't wait at all. you can look up graphs of the half lifes of various insulins and their forms to see how the insulin in general is used and how quickly it can take effect. I'll try...

New sensor yesterday DoA. That's a first for me. Zero readings logged whatsoever. Woke up alarm from it at 4.19am urgh. Abbot's customer service usually good sending out replacements.. shame courier company they choose isn't as good nor helpful wouldnt be difficult for them imo to give a...

No reading after fast. New sensor refused point blank to work. Breakfast and out for a swim will test poolside after around 32lenghts. Attached is error screenshot. Gp prob will be annoyed asking for twinpack a full 2 weeks early like the last time had one fail. Abbots usually very good to...

I'll give a little useless info. Capillary blood regardless where it comes from is still blood. In hospital ... I'm bad with fingerpricks even still 8 months on some of blood glucose came from cutting self.. some from scratching off skin tags squeezing Til bled Gouging out little bit of skin in...

well done on 31. which is 'normal' whatever 'normal' is... sad thing is if go back to old ways prior to diagnosis and changes you've made the issues will likely resurface. regarding support this forum seems to be an awesome place :) theres a few threads where people post their glucose...
