    Not having a very good experience with the freestyle libre :(

    Hello there :) I have been lucky enough to be given a trial of the freestyle libre which started just over two weeks ago. However I seem to be getting the 'sensor error glucose reading unavailable try again in 10 mins' far too often! My first sensor was brilliant for 7 days and really helped me...
