Unfortunately they do. Glycogen release is stunted as the process is triggered via the beta cells.

Mine did come off, twice and from two different batches. Abbott insisted on the phone that they shouldn't do this. I don't know how to say this nicely but some people sweat, other people SWEAT. I'm a SWEATER, and I'm 100% this is what lifted the sensor because when I stopped and dried off the...

Do you find that having a lot of glycogen onboard makes a difference?, Bit of a tangent here Robert, how do you find the Accu-check mobile? I deeply regret switching over to it. The convenience of having a drum of test strips is outweighed heavily with multiple errors, low blood errors while...

C Cracking stuff, I'll be doing the same I think on face value it's the best way to get the most value out of the sensors and avoid the annoying bedding in period. Let us know how that transition goes.

I wonder if it would be worth people putting the sensor on and not scan it with the reader for 24h, this should allow the sensor to settle down before starting the 14 day use countdown. Maybe :/

I absolutely agree with you, and in a similar vein I'm sad to say I can't use it as a guide during exercise either for the same reasoning. What is encouraging is that the Libre team are doing very well with sales, and that they are upfront about capturing user expereince to improve the accuracy...

Unfortunately my second sensor partially fell off at the gym yeterday which makes a total of two so far. Both had onyl been worn for a few days and were far behind the 14 days of full use. I rang the Libre team again, and they were again very useful. They confirmed that stock was low, and...

I can kind of understand why this reading did what it did. The sensor is trying to adjust to a delayed interstatial fluid reading by using an algorithm to predict the path of glucose rise/drop. When you ate dinner you got a spike that went dramatically up and sat at about 9mmol/l. The Libre...

I'll second that, I'm more sweaty than the average person for sure and I think the CGM sensors have more bordering sticky stuff to stay on. I've brought some Skin-tac wipes that I really struggled to find stocked in the UK. They're supposed to both make the initial adhesion better and more...

Well, my first session at the gym with a sensor attached (4 days in from attachment) an it lifted and fell off before I got home. I'm guessing there's an issue with staying attached when moisture is present underneath the sensor. I'm ringing the customer service team this morning to see what I...

I've had the same revelation. I can't believe I've had my sugars go so low overnight for so long (down to 3mmol/l), I'm a bit angry to be honest since I'm so on the ball during the day. I was adamant at my last Endio Appointment that my HBA1C of 5.4% was achieved through hard work. I was also...

I just took off my first Freestyle Libre sensor and I noticed that it is still functional as an external NFC tag. Using software for Android, Tasker, plus the Tasker NFC tag re-use plugin, you could for example stick an old sensor to your work desk and tap it to turn your phone volume down...

They use a semi locked ISO 15693 NFC Vicinity format, but you can still pick up the HEX data with an app such as NFC TagInfo from the Android Play store. I wouldn't like to be the one to crunch that into something readable though.

I'm an idiot.

NFC has come a long way since the buggy Android 2.3 offering, it's been very surprising to see how much of a mess Apple has made of the technolgy on thier devices. I would very much like to see this implemented but I'd be concerned about being caught short when my phone battery dies...

Nice. Does it effect the touchscreen at all? I'm finding the up/down arrows more than a little fiddley to find the 'sweet spot' especially when inputting carbs. It's a shame you can't change the increments to 5g or even more obviously, make the buttons bigger. I'm a User Experience, User...

They are quite man'ish. But If anyone is looking for a belt pouch to keep the reader in the 5.11 C5 PDA military case fits like a glove. I brought a black one to wear at my corporate job and a desert tan one for anything else. Can I link to this...

Mine looks unnervingly flat especially on the Sunday, when I sat at 4.2-4.3 for most of the day. My best guess is there's are small peaks and dips happening there between the 15 minute readings that aren't being picked up. However, when I check my readings are actually within .5mmol/l of the...

Okay, I'm going to go ahaead and answer both of my questions as I've just rang customer services. Both NO. They did say that inaccuracy (extremely low readings) for 3 days is/was unacceptible. If I get this with my second sensor ring them and they'll look into it and issue another sensor...

After nearly 4 days of use I can say that the first 24hours the meter was unusable and constantly reported 2-2.5mmol/l lower than actual readings especially overnight. Gradually the meter has aligned itself to much more accurate scans over thr followign 48h that often are within at most .5mmol/l...
