    Faulty Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    I have had at least 2 whole batches of faulty sensors and now even my pharmacist is getting frustrated. I was threatened with having to pay ! It was not my fault. The sensors were not scanning at all. I troubleshooted repeatedly and turned bluetooth on and off but it made no difference. On one...

    Type 2 Traveling abroad whilst diabetic…

    So Im going on a long haul flight in June. It will be my first since having the Libre 2 sensor fitted. I went to the dr and just wanted to get a letter (which looks like a shopping list) with all my meds and the need to have the dextro tablets with me in case of hypos.. what I didnt know about...

    Type 2 Hypos….

    Thank you [emoji1488] I usually rely on the finger prick because i know its more accurate but this time the BG was reading 3 and the Libre was on 2.8 so it was defo low and yes that lag is annoying…. I did test after 15ms and it hardly changed so i panicked… again lol . Great advice though (the 15g)

    Type 2 Hypos….

    Good morning all Last night I took my eye off the ball and gave myself way too much insulin for what I ate. As a result , about an hour later I had one of the worst hypos I have had in years… it dropped down to 2.8 on the Libre sensor and 3 on the blood glucose test. It was late at night and I...

    Type 2 Faulty sensor

    Yes, i had to change the sensor in the middle of the night and when i took it out the needle didn’t even look like a needle and was bendy and soft. The new one seems to get ok. I was reading 7.6 and the finger prick was 6.7…. I understand that the finger prick is always gonna be more accurate...

    Type 2 Faulty sensor

    Type 2 Faulty sensor

    Hi Its 3:27am (English time) and I have been woken up 4 times with my sensor alarm for suspected ‘low’ readings. [emoji42][emoji31]. Im exhausted.

    Diabetes and PIP benefit…

    Thank you. I have had CBT before because I went through a point where I couldn’t tell the difference between a hypo and a panic attack ( this was prior to the Libre2 sensor and I had to depend on my accu check mobile). I had to travel to work on a packed tube in central London and thought I was...
