OK, so do I, but yes, the Libre has an alarm and as such it is a serious matter if it doesn't work.

Many months ago I posted a question about the Freestyle reader alarm not working. Have had a replacement but this still doesn't work. An example is - I set an alarm to wake me up at 4am and leave the reader at my bedside. I sleep, and don't get woken up! When I finally rise at 7am and do a scan...

My sugars are fairly stable, but I don't always wake up if I'm hypo, so I have to test once or twice a night as a precaution. The reason for using the scanner alarm is that it means I only have to pick up the scanner, not the scanner and a watch or clock.

Sorry for terminology. For sensor read Meter or Scanner.

Proprietary scanner has a picture of a bell at bottom left hand corner of screen. You can set different types of alarms. You have not seen this before?

Sorry Mel, I don't know what you're referring to I'm afraid. This is a Freestyle Libre manufactured by Abbot, with the proprietary equipment.

No, no app involved - this is on the Libre sensor itself

Hi, Has anyone else noticed that the Freestyle Libre alarms do not always work? Typically I will set an alarm (or a Check Glucose) for 1am in the morning and expect to be woken up by it, but it just doesn't work. This is bad news for me, as I need to do this every night. I asked Abbott to send...

Yes, and you can only order 2 at a time because their production line is straining. So £57 x 26 = £1482 per annum - bloody expensive but I'm just hoping that the goverment will make these allowable on prescription, or that a competitor will undercut the price.

The sweat patch might not be as invasive, but my point was that the title of the thread implied that finger pricking is suddenly bypassed, when in fact Libre and other CGMs have been available and done this for some time, albeit at a cost to the patient. (I'm not surprised at the expense when...

Sorry, the proper name is Freestyle Libre, manufactured by Abbot; it's been in production for well over a year now. Recommend you get onto it straightaway, despite the cost (circa £50 a month, not yet available through NHS). You can do as many tests as you like!

Can't believe you have not mentioned that the Freestyle Optium ALREADY acheives the aim of being free from finger pricking!?
