Hi sorry to hear of your experiences. I have also suffered the problem of start up issues due to a bent filament on several occasions. When the filament is bent it will not have been able to be inserted properly. I presume this is a manufacturing issue. If you contact Abbott they will send...

I am also thinking of returning to Libre 1. Hopefully they will continue being available for some time. I did try dexcom when they had a free trial. It was much more reliable. Unfortunately it costs !!!

Hi annliggins. Although I do not want anyone else to experience problems with Libre 2 it does reassure me that I am not alone in experiencing problems with it. I have lost count of the number of replacement Libre 2 sensors I have had, the number of disturbed nights sleep with alarms...

Hi sallymac65 I was told at a review appt in June this year that I could not use flaps in my Omnipod. I was told it was not approved and that was the end of the discussion. The Pump Team however have suggested it. Like you I find pre-blousing to say the least. Good luck. I will watch this...

My vote goes for Flexitol. It works well

I had problems scanning with my previous phone a Samsung A21s. I now have iPhone SE and it works fine Good luck

Hi I have had a lot sensors fail since moving to Libre 2, not 3 in one week thankfully. That would be very frustrating. Abbott have always replaced them. I do wonder if Libre 2 is still being refined. The length of time you wait on the phone would suggest they are having a lot of issues...

Hi Nessa1970 I used the Medtronic 670g for short time. This was my first pump. I had great difficulty doing set changes due to arthritis in my hands. I had to get others to fill the reservoir for me. I found all other aspects of the pump fine. Due to the challenges I had with doing set...

Hi. I use Zoff adhesive remover wipes which I get on Amazon. For me they work they work the best. Good luck

Thanks very much for your replies. I will certainly take care to position my phone over the sensor, I feel that I do this but will double check that. I feel that it is the phone and like you it will not be going for another Samsung. Thanks again

Hi there thanks for your reply. I do not use my phone for payment so will look into this. Not sure why Abbott stopped the downloading of data to Diasend. Probably related to money Thanks again

Thanks for your reply, reasonable point. As far as I can tell yes I am scanning with the right area. Some times it buzzes twice but does not give a reading, other times it buzzes once and then tells me hold phone over the sensor till it has buzzed twice. I am holding it over the sensor where it...

Hi Folks Hope this finds everyone well. I am having real problems scanning my Libre 2 with my Samsung a21s This has been the case for some time but has become more of an issue now you cannot download data from the reader to Diasend. I now have to use my phone all the time. Most times when I...

Hi Joanne75 I currently use the Omnipod dash and have one pod which leaked and some issues with highs associated with pod changes. I previously used the Medtronic 670 but not with the sensors so I cannot comment here. I changed to the Omnipod as I had issues with set changes. I have arthritis...

Hi KenBachelor I had the same problem last week, eventually following a long discussion with Abbott they replaced the sensor. My sensor lost contact with the reader and my phone. Good luck with this

I have had similar experiences. More failed sensors since I moved from Libre 1 to Libre 2. The latest issues was that my sensor lost signal Sunday and would not connect no matter what I tried. When I eventually got through yesterday the person I spoke with got me to do all the things I had...

Hi Soplewis12 No problem, sorry I could not be off any real help. My hba1c at the clinic on Friday was 52 which was down from when I started on the pump. I have found placing the pod on my leg can lead to to it getting dislodged. I am also much more aware of it there than on other sites. I do...

Hi cumbria-pumper. Raised this at the clinic today. The doctor I saw indicated that all the data goes into the Libre view automatically so I did not need to do anything else. I highlighted that meant not all data would then be in the same place, she was not bothered by that, just to work...

Hi Soplewis12. I asked about this today but really did not get any help. The Doctor I saw acknowledged this was a known issue, the only suggestion was to correct. Sorry that is not really any help. As you say trial & error.

Hi soplewis12 I am an Omnipod user and find that I sometimes run high on the day I change my pod. I understand that this can happen. I am not sure if an increase in basal or correction doses is the best way forward. I have Pump Clinic appt on Friday. This is one of the questions I will be...
