Libre 2 sensor failure

[masonbason63]

Have had similar problems when I phoned they just said there’s an error which I’d worked out myself by reading the error codes I’ve funded since last September and have had 5 naff sensors 3 in 6 weeks but in their favour they’ve replaced all of them no problem

Happened again , this time with 5 days to go

Interesting to see sensor errors on Libre 2 when I have experienced two sensor errors on Libre 1 in the last week.
One was a fall off and the other was an inability to read the sensor and reported as a "sensor error". Abbott agreed to replace both.
Interestingly, Glimp could still read the sensor but it was clearly unhappy as the values bounced from 5 to 35 and back to 35 (the truth, according to finger pricks was nearer 6).

This my second consecutive sensor that has failed with similar problems. I was delivered 6 in a batch and am now wondering if they are all going to fail like this. Not impressed with Libre 2 so far. I'll be asking about going back to libre 1 at my next Doctors appointment.

Abbot agreed to replace the 2nd one also but couldn't give me any decent explanation why they fail like this.

I have recently started to use the meter and so far I am 5 sensors in and four of the five have all failed early has anyone else had a high rate of failure with the sensors?

I woke up this morning and there was a diagonal red line through the sensor icon. The reader won’t scan the sensor and it just times out. It’s only been activated since Monday ~ 5 days.

Can’t find any info or workarounds for this issue. Contacted abbot but they have just replied with their usual ‘generic’ response.

Any ideas ? To me it appears the sensor is completely dead .

My freestyle libre sensor has failed twice before time due to replace sensor. When I telephoned Abbot they said it was nothing I had done wrong and only offered to send me a replacement senor which arrived 3 days later with a return envelope for the failed sensors. Have not heard anything since. Did you say you had a Freestyle 2 are they the new system with warnings when BS are rising or falling? great if they are didn't think they had been released here yet.
