    Libre 2 signal loss

    For the logbook, maybe it is only a problem on recent phones. I don't use a pump and I'm on android 13. For the 10 minute dialog I had thought this was "results outside the expected change, software is waiting to try to understand where the readings are going." Dunno where I formed that...

    Libre 2 signal loss

    This thread came up in my email today about recent posts, otherwise I would have missed it. We seem to have a plethora of different threads about the ****show that is libre2. Some comments up-thread are useful. Today I had at least 2 occurrences of levels reported as some way below 3.9 although...

    How much time do you spend having low blood sugar (<4mmol/L)?

    As with most other people, I find that the libre2 on android often underreads (or overreads if high) compared to my AccuCheck test strips. Sometimes I take 3 dextrosol tablets and see the level rising even before I've finished chewing the first of them, other times the level stays down. I've...

    Libre Sensor 2 issue

    Thanks to barrym and LittleGreyCat for those responses. It is indeed "early days" for this sort of technology, I guess I just feel misled by the frequent TV adverts on channels I watch saying how easy (and by implication, reliable) it is and I do start to wonder about the reliability of the...

    High readings with Freestyle Libre 2

    Seems unlikely, a lot of foods have vitamin C. A quick google for vitamins and minerals in spinach suggests the contents are good (hmm, good for iron, maybe _I_ should eat it more often). 'Hypo' means different things in different contexts - below 5.0 for driving, more generally below 4.0. I'm...

    Libre Sensor 2 issue

    In my opinion, the alarms for below level are unreliable. I've had the level set to 4.5 while I was sleeping, got woken by levels of 3.7 or below. On other nights, with the same sensor, it worked correctly at a reported 4.4. And, of course, a reading below 4 is often an under-estimate. But...

    Freestyle Libre 2 to become real time continuous glucose monitor in UK from mid July 2023

    Coming back to this, is anyone else on android finding the reported level and trend can fluctuate wildly while looking at the phone for a couple of minutes ? This is not related to "oh, I ate something", nor to the 'I've just decided to get up, levels rise' situations. But often during the day...

    Freestyle Librelink logbook

    Like for lots of other people, logbook problems started for me with the update to 2.10. My first problem was that 2.10 lost the signal much more often. I knew my phone was old, so I eventually updated it to a Samsung with android 13. It still randomly loses contact - some of that, if I scan...

    Libre2 App

    Logbook has been slow to load for ages. Maybe since they updated to 2.10 for so-called continuous readings, maybe before that. I changed my phone for a new Samsung A14 a few weeks ago, made no difference to the slowness of loading the logbook. I also find that even after I've opened the logbook...

    Libre 2

    Disconcerting, but common. My experience is that it often (but not always) under-estimates if below 4 and over-estimates if above 10. I also find that the android app frequently has gaps in the graph, even when the phone has been with me, and that if I scan it to update the graph the indicated...

    Frequent loss of signal, libre2 on android

    The connectivity drops randomly, i.e. sometimes it works fine in a particular place/position, other times it drops out.

    Frequent loss of signal, libre2 on android

    "Rude words" - just came back to my computer after watching recorded TV, sat down, got a notification of lost signal. Oddly, that was some while ago - the graph had a gap before the current readings.

    Frequent loss of signal, libre2 on android

    Thanks,I can't find any options to clear memory and cache for bluetooth. But after my last post I remembered that on the previous phone, I occasionally had to force stop the app - and with the upgraded version I seemed to need to do that more frequently. This evening it had not kept the signal...

    Frequent loss of signal, libre2 on android

    Thanks, tred using pocket on same side but did not help - still lost contact after about 20 minutes. I think I've got all the battery saver settings for this 'off', but itds a samsungs phone and they install their own worse-than-google versions of some of the apps (e.g. the clock) and generally...

    Frequent loss of signal, libre2 on android

    Before libre2 was updated to give continuous readings I'd turned off the signal-loss alarm because it triggered erratically. With the update for continuous readingds that alarm is force-enabled. I was getting a lot of those alarms, eventually figured my phone was not up to the job (7 years...

    Deleting spurious data on libra 2 app

    As I've said in at least one other thread, for me outside the 3.9 to 10 range the libre2 readings tend to be lower than BM if low, and higher if high. If they are within the 5 to 10 range I do not usually fingerprick.

    LibreLink and Libre 2 on Android - App stopping over night sometimes

    I've not had that problem, but newer phones and versions of android seem to have options to default to power-saving and the settings can be hidden all over the place. On my (new a few weeks ago) android the app keeps working but tends to lose contact with the sensor - sometimes several times an...

    Sleeping (Or not!)

    Just found this thread. The thing to remember is that we are all different, and what works for one might be very deleterious for someone else. (re not eating before bed). I've slept badly for many years as a result of an injury, fortunately I no-longer have to work. With libre2 I developed a...

    Freestyle Libre 2 to become real time continuous glucose monitor in UK from mid July 2023

    I think the operation of android and iphones is different. I checked the level after eating a while ago, got the message to try again in 10 minutes, Made a note of that, came back to the home screen in librelink and it had a reading. I can accept the initial signal was outside the software's...

    Freestyle Libre 2 to become real time continuous glucose monitor in UK from mid July 2023

    I had a lot of problems after the update to librelink-2.10.1, then I had problems verifying a request to my bank (natwest) to add a card for the local minicabs. An hour or two later I tried to turn on the phone, but insufficient charge. A couple of minutes later the phone had gone from the...
