I have discovered that electric induction ovens are safer and more economical to run and as a vulnerable person I am wondering whether one of these ovens would be a good choice for my new home. But I have some concerns about the effect of the electro magnetic waves from such an oven and how they might impact on my sensor readings. Does anyone know if there are any dangers with this? I have phoned Abbot but they say there is no evidence regarding this matter although pace makers can be affected by induction ovens, and also various other health-related technologies. Research has yet to be done for libre sensors. I also phoned my clinic and they do not know at this point either. Does anyone know whether Abbot Libre 2 plus sensors are affected by induction ovens? Thank you!
 
I've been using my induction hob for nearly as long I have been using a Libre and it doesn't seem to have any effect on it .
 
Ditto, and I love our induction hob.
 
A couple of weeks ago I needed to get an MRI scan for a knee injury. Before going in I googled whether libre sensors were affected by the MRI & it seems they are the only sensor approved for use in MRI. The nurse confirmed it was ok as long as I covered it with my hand during the scan (I happened to be wearing a patch aswell anyway). I can confirm there were no adverse effects and it continued to work just fine (same also for airport scanners). MRI's are waaaay stronger than inductions hobs/ovens, so in my absolutely non-expert view I wouldn't be worried. I should add that I also have induction hob at home.
