After three months, I have been able to use only two sensors for the full 10 days. Fortunately, Libre has been replacing the ones that fail. Others here in this forum seem to have no problem so I wonder what is wrong in my case. Might the difference be body-mass index? Mine is quite high...

Although I have tried to place the sensor in several locations, I do find that on the outside of the upper arm is best. I doubt this if for any quality of reading rather it seems to be the location of least interference from skin/muscle flexing. I guess that the filament gets pulled out even...

Can they be redeemed for cash and valuable prizes? Vacation Trips?

I don't understand how the title of this article relates to what is written...? Reversal?

Understood. I do not know much about T1. As T2, I really have only the low reading as a short-term/immediate problem. I can see how immediate status is valuable for those T1. I was not looking at the chart that way.

Apparently Libre requires the "control solution" to calibrate. I wonder where I can get that and why Libre did to send some with the meter. 150 quid ($200) for a blue tooth transmitter. Interesting. I doubt I will spring for one. The pic looks good though. I wondering how much of that...

What is this xDrip+? I tried to search for it but everywhere I look, all I get is why to use it, benefits of it, it's history, and software packages to download. Still I have no idea what it is..... Also, you mention that one can calibrate the Libre system. Exploring the settings, I see that...

Excellent video. It is interesting that the people at Libre do not seem to want to discuss this. Does this explain the "15 minute delay" which is discussed here? That may explain why in my readings that the two values are exactly the same. It may be that the trend arrow was horizontal for the...

OK, how do I reconcile this one? I just received my new Libre test strips. I have about 30 of my Breese2 test strips left. I have a working Libre sensor in place for 2 days now. I did a finger stick, and from the same drop of blood, I measured using both the Libre test strip and the Breeze2...

I have become very bored with my own cooking. The quality has not changed, I just can't seem to shake the old patterns. I used to date someone with similar problems. When we went out to eat, we would order for each other with no questions asked. It was great, I had food combinations I never...

I was finger sticking 5 times a day. So I appreciate the sensor. However, one of my sensors gave very low readings for all scans. They were 60% to 90% lower than my test strips. It could have been sensor placement or it could have been a defective sensor. Either way, the people at Libre...

Have you seen the video supplied by Libre showing how to remove the sensor? ( : The first sensor I used, took some work to remove. The ones that followed, not so much. I do clean the area well and use alcohol and let it dry before applying. I even shaved the hair off, what little there was.

I have been having a difficult time getting these things to stay in place. All the ads from Libre show these deliriously happy women showing off their sensors and there is no indication of added cover to help them stay in place. I have used Nexcare Tegaderm waterproof dressing and it worked for...

What kind of covers and do they prevent the sensor from being ripped out?

"NOT to take any insulin dose based on CGM or Libre as they are not sufficiently accurate." I tend to believe you due to my roller coaster results of readings. Isn't it interesting that after all the conversations I have had with Libre phone clerks, nothing has been mentioned of this. There...

I have been through 6 sensors so far and only one worked for the full 10 days. A few fell/pulled off but I have now figured that one out as they seem to be staying on now. In my effort to find a durable location, I placed one on my chest, just over my heart (yes, plenty of meat there... ) but...

I have heard of said "15 minute gap". What is this? Did they issue test strips or did you have to purchase them? How many?

I removed a sensor after 4 days of obviously low readings. I matched the last 10 readings with test strip results on my Breeze2 meter and found the Libre system to be 60% to 90% lower. Although Libre is replacing that one there were rather belligerent towards me because I wanted them to...

I just went through 4 days (5 - 6 readings a day) and all of them were 40% to 120% lower than my Breeze2 test strips showed. Some readings just said LO while others told me to check back in 10 minutes. A new sensor is within the "20% acceptable range". That is right, the Libre system is...

Maybe it is a good thing. It shows that the sensor is properly seated.
