Libre 2 Sensor free trial

[Mrs T 123]

You need a Libre 2 reader. If you have the original reader and ordered that from Abbott they will send a Libre 2 reader free of charge. That’s what I did as I prefer the reader to the phone.

Do you think they might send me this free? I am not sure if my phone will work with it or not - so do I not need to download the app? Oops I am not too technical - sorry

I doubt it a they’re already giving the sensor free. No harm in asking though!

Abbott turned me down...

I was "found to be an existing user through the eligibility check."

They know everything. My Libreview account says i've used one before.. Which i had.
But i hadn't obtained it from them.

Snap. One, once two years ago. I’m wondering if my husband wants to try one?

I have a Samsung just over 2 years old - any idea what version it could be? I can't see it on the phone

Hi,

Go into your settings menu. scroll down & click on "about device."
It will tell you everything you need to know about your phone, Including what OS you're using..

The cynic in me suggests this Abbott promotion is a simalar ploy "drug dealers" use to hook in the new "customers."

Did you just put your mobile no. in after +44??? does not seem to be accepting my number ???

Take the "O" (zero) off the beginning of your phone number.

The plus four four is the international prefix code for the UK.

Looks like I have eventually got this - downloaded the app on to my phone with my good old friend "you tube's" assistance.

Cheers - I eventually worked that out - so unusual to be asked for a land line number these days rather than a mobile. Many thanks for your help.

It doesn’t need to be landline. It refused my auto fill number but took the manually entered one +44 minus the 0 no gaps.

Glad the problem seems to be solved, I don't know anything about phones!

It would be nice if Abbott handed out some sensor freebies here Australia so we could try before we buy.

They cost $100.00 for a sensor here, which makes it a expensive exercise for a T2 here.

@Mrs T 123 Restarting your Samsung phone will bring up the model name on the starting screen.

 

[Mrs T 123]

I've just seen that Abbot are offering a free trial of their Freestyle Libre 2 sensor:
https://sample.freestyle.abbott/gb-en/freestylelibre.html

I notice however that there is a very limited list of phones it will work with - i.e. not my newish Xiaomi Remi Note 9S.

Is there a way round this?

Many thanks for that - nothing to lose if it's for free - can't wait for my new toy to arrive- it's on its way to me

 

[Mrs T 123]

Many thanks to all for your help - when it arrives I am sure there will be more questions ...

Mine arrived today, but I am going to wait a few days/weeks before trying it out.
Thinking I'll try all the foods I havent had in the past year, but frightened that will get be back on carbs
Also frightened I'll get addicted to using it all the time. Not wanting to waste this free opportunity

That was quick - when did you order?

 

[MrsA2]

Sunday evening.

 

[Rachox]

I ordered mine Monday and it arrived this morning, but took til this evening to pluck up courage put it on!
Just to reassure other Libre newbies, it didn’t hurt a bit!

Fantastic @Rachox - mine arrived this morning, have read the booklet and it all looks as though it would be really helpful. Going to have a bath after lunch and put the sensor on. Glad to hear it's not painful.

I've noticed that these companies seem to elbowing their way into other markets like general healthcare and sports/fitness etc.

Mind you, if the much vaunted 'watch' products actually work, the business models of these companies is probably going to suffer enormously.
