Dear Readers,
I was coming to the forum to see if this has happened to anyone else but I have been using Freestyle Libre 1 for the last year and a half with no issues and I’ve started on Libre 2 - all was fine until recently where my readings of my blood vs Freestyle has been so off, my blood was 21.6mmol and the Libre kept telling me I was on 6.4mmol ! The only reason I knew something was off was because I was having extreme ketoacidosis symptoms.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do? This could’ve been ended very badly had I not taken the initiative to check my bloods myself instead of trusting the libre furthermore, what does it say about all the other times it’s been telling me my BG was good when it potentially wasn’t ?
Could any potential action be taken up against the company Abbott at all?
Kind regards
