I have had over 100 Freestyle Libre sensors now that have all said “the sensor has ended” before the 14 days have expired? Are you still having the same problem?

Hello everybody, I would love your help please? As a Type 1 diabetic I have been using the Freestyle 2 sensors for a few years now. The huge problem is for the last 3 years, I am getting the same error message “The sensor has ended” This happens randomly at anytime before the 14 day lifespan...

Hi Dean, I expect thousands are having the same issues as you & me with the Freestyle Libre 2. I have been using them since day 1 and there were a few minor problems (that’s expected) at the beginning. I’ve been using them years now & you would expect the serious problems had been fixed? The...

I have just received this pump and need to get it insured. My home insurance told me they could insure it but I would have to pay the £250 excess. I need a company that can insure the £3000 device and give me exactly that should I lose it or if it gets stolen. I am having lots of problems with...

The problem is for 2 hours every morning I will be having BG between 12-14. For this reason I have done the 1 unit for 5g Carbs got perfect between 4-7 after 2 hours and then to have a 2nd identical breakfast after that 2 hours. My question is is there any other way to get good BG after 2 hours...

Thank you very much for your reply Spiker. The advice you have given me is exactly the same as my very experienced diabetic nurse. I did what you have both suggested & after testing 2 hours later my BG was 12-14. For this reason I DIDNT LISTEN because I thought she was completely dilutional. My...
