As you might see in the iPhone thread, I've just bought one. The Libre app is working perfectly except for the fact that my current sensor is still reluctant to connect or stay connected. Once I get it downloaded to the phone by bringing them into physical contact it will stay connected and...

Its that man again! So - I took the plunge and got an iPhone thinking that if things didn't work I could always sell it again. I don't use my phone for much except calls, texts and the occasional bit of navigation so I'm not interested in phone contracts with phone purchase built in; I buy...

Maybe they're both from a bad batch? I get four at a time; the first was fine, this the second is definitely not working properly. I'll just have to wait and see what the third and fourth do.

Lakeslover, thank you for this; that thread is very informative. I'm astonished that a company like Abbott can't configure an app which supports their product to work on a huge sector of the smartphone market. If I were them I'd either be kicking on the door of the in-house IT department or...

Meh. If you read what I wrote you'll see that we already bought the Apple Tag AND an iPad with which to track it. I simply want to know whether the Abbott app runs on an iPhone if I decide to change. Sheesh...

No, she doesn't have a phone - she's lost three this year already, and when she had one she couldn't remember how to make or answer a call. Thats why we went down the Apple Tag route.

At the risk of wearing out my welcome this technical numpty is back with what is no doubt another stupid question. Bit of background - I'm a carer for my wife who is starting to suffer from dementia - occasionally she'll go out and lose track of where she is, where she should be and how to get...

Thank you LittleGreyCat - two days in and it seems to be starting to behave itself.

Well that is a very good point. I never really thought about it like that, somehow assuming that because a used sensor is potentially contaminated with blood products that made it somehow different. However, even at my aqdvanced age we live and learn (for so long as we live!) - I'll puth them in...

But it’s also - at least technically - contaminated with bodily fluids and therefore potentially a biohazard which should be incinerated?

I use the Libre 2+ sensors as they are what my NHS Trust supply. I've had very few problems with them apart from a couple coming off in bed - I solved that by using the Kovok guard and adhesive plaster which providesome protection. But I changed my sensor yesterday and the new one seems very...

I put my used sensor in the sharps box. As to the advice to put the used applicator into the sharps box, either Abbot have forgotten the size of the applicator or they have humungous sharps boxes! The ones supplied by my local authority have an opening sized for needles - and sensors - but no...

Hi everybody. I was diagnosed with Type 1 just a year ago at the age of 76. Bit of a shock but I seem to have settled into a routine so it doesn't really impact my life too much, but I'm still finding out stuff that is probably really basic to most of you. Right now I want to ask for some advice...

I fitted the last of my prescription Libre 2 sensors a couple of days ago and ordered the next 4. My pharmacy just delivered them and they're labelled 'Libre 2+'. I gather these run for 15 days rather than the previous 14, but does anybody know what other differences there may be? Any other...
