I also have this effect. For years I didn't have this problem I don't think, now I do. I think it is just too many carbs and the metabolism slowing down. I have a regime now to deal with high carb food. I take the normal amount of rapid acting insulin, Humalog, for the food. Then about 4 hours...

@ringi . Maybe they did what was asked, but that does not mean it is the correct way. I have been involved in lots of big projects were design problems have been identified, but then ignored. 1 such project then ended up with a fine of £500k a week due to the design being wrong and very narrowly...

I think this thread is going off topic. This is warning to all Freestyle Libre users to make sure they realise that buying sensors in another country means they won't work together. So making sure users buy more sensors for holidays and loads if they are working abroad. Also Abbott needs to put...

Abbott didn't offer me a new reader or sensor, they just said that readers and sensors are country/region specific and offered no help.

So if the sensors are country specific why isn't the charger? Surely if they want to make it country specific the charger should be as well. The charger works on a range of voltages and frequencies that cover most of the country's power supplies in the world, 100v-240v 50-60hz. So not country...

I think it is design flaw as it prevents sensors being used. Test strips are not country specific and will work with any reader from any country. Both test strips and the libre sensor are designed to give blood glucose readings. The readings are very important to the health of the user. The...

I eventually got a reply from Abbott saying the reason they make the Freestyle Libre country specific is to stop them being sold on the black market. I asked other questions like how do I change the language if I bought one in the country I am in. Change the mg/dl to mmol if I needed to. No...

The test strips I use which work are the FreeStyle Optium

There are no language settings on the uk version. No idea if each country's libre has language settings?

There are no stickers on my sensor boxes. The country restrictions are obviously causing problems for some people. I saw another thread on here from someone who had an Australian reader and tried to use a uk sensor.... It didn't work. The solution is to buy a reader in the country according to...

I needed to buy a new sensor in a country I was visiting. I put it on as usual and went to start the sensor with my Freestyle libre reader. The message on the reader was that the sensor was incompatible with the reader. I wondered why this would be as my reader wasn't broken and was relatively...

You may have to as it looks like Abbott are trying to make people buy readers in all countries they live in..... Also cannot use the LibreLink app as it not allowed in Brazil. I have 2 uk readers, now looks like they are trying to make me buy another reader. I am trying Glimp S to start it and...

Was the solution using Glimp? I have this problem. Reader bought in the UK. Bought a new sensor in Brazil. Got the incompatible sensor message. Asking Abbott this as it shouldn't matter where the sensors are bought......

Remember the NHS and Government are desperate for money. So they have seen an opportunity to make money by fining people and now they are going to fine as many people as possible. Like people have said, you have insulin on your prescription therefore you are diabetic or getting it for a...
