There are very few of them available via Ebay and other markets at the moment, and ones that are new often go for above their original retail price. I'm lucky enough that I have managed to source one, and at retail price. It'll be arriving in a few days I believe.

UPDATE: So all credit to Abbott. They did eventually get back in touch with me, have taken a bunch of details about the phone and the issue at hand and have said they will be updating the device compatibility list on their website. I still think it's a little too well hidden but large companies...

They aren't allowed to supply me with one until I've completed a mandated training course. Hence why I am self funding currently whilst waiting on the training course as the waiting list is several months long in my area.

Yup! I ran around the house scanning other NFC tags and all of them worked perfectly, even ones I hadn't scanned for nearly 6 years, all read perfectly except for the libre.

I asked them and they said they had no way to order them in and were only able to get a hold of the sensors, and this was a fairly large Pharmacy associated with one of the largest supermarkets in the country. I assume they will be available eventually, but as it stands at the moment, no dice.

Honestly I wanted the reader too, but they have suspended sales of it to anyone other than current Abbott customers, so it's not purchasable in the UK, hence me having to use my phone if I want to use it, I'm exploring other avenues for picking up a reader because I do want one as a backup but...

According to the Play Store so is the OnePlus One which I tried to use. Sadly the Play Store is unable to really tell you whether or not it's going to work in the end

I do agree with you to a point. It's not really that they don't support some devices. My issue is that they seem to be getting reports of devices that don't work, but make no effort to update the working and non-working device lists, which are very sparse at the moment. My other issue is with...

Assuming you mean ACR (Albumin/Creatine Ratio), this link should have a bit more info than I can give. I'm not sure what unit of measurement your GP has used though :) https://www.kidney.org/kidneydisease/siemens_hcp_acr

This is definitely helpful. I just wish FreeStyle would be a bit more direct and open about this all.

This is great to know, even if all this thread becoems is a list of devices people HAVE gotten working I'll be really really happy. There's just not a good way to check as it currently stands! So feel free to mention devices that you know do and don't work. I would be very happy to be proven...

TL;DR: FreeStyle are Misadvertising the way the LibreLink app works with Android devices leading to compatability issues and have no intention of fixing the problem or even alerting potential users that there is a problem. I am uncomfortable with the way FreeStyle advertises the FreeStyle...

I think you're right. Now that I've dialed things in a bit more closely I've dropped back to only testing around 5 or so times a day. I figure once my pancreas finishes it's melodrama and finally gives out completely I'll start testing much more rigourously again. Hopefully I can afford a CGM by...

Chemistry is awesome. I wish I understood more of it. The closest I get to any kind of chemistry is prop making and prototyping which as fun as it is, is like, not even Secondary School levels of chemistry. Your doctor sounds awesome. I'm thinking of asking mine if he will change my...

I'm doing a Games Technology degree :) Learning how to design and build computer and console games. It's a lot of fun but is also surprisingly challenging. What about you? :D It does feel super good to be in the better ranges. So much more energy and just generally feeling better. Our...

I have spent these past two weeks working really hard to figure things out better, especially now that I'm approaching the end of my first year of uni and my first year of diabetes! I've pulled my average reading (across 100 tests including post meal readings) down from 11 to about 6.8 so I'm...

4.9 going to bed and 6.7 waking up! Had a few spoons of peanut butter to try to make sure I wouldn't dip lower over night. I'm hoping I'm starting to get the hang of this.

Fell asleep at 6.8 and woke up at 7.3! My best night to date! I have literally no idea how that happened. I think some weird stuff goes on when I'm asleep. :confused:

Oof, that's rough! Waking up that high is horrible ~.~

My stomach used to bruise rather often. I don't know if this works for anyone else but it definitely helps me? I tend to try and squeeze a little tummy fat together in the place where I'm injecting, for some reason this really seems to help with bruising, pain and just seems more comfortable...
