    Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    If a CGM has a manufacturing issue where not enough adhesive is consistently being applied to make it stick to your arm then it clearly isn't fit for purpose.

    Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    I'm insulin dependent with steroid induced DM2 and the accuracy, and reliability of both the app and Libre 2 sensor are quite appalling IMO. I went through a period of 6 months where the sensors were either failing off or failing with different error codes for 2 out of every 3 applications. I...
