Hi, I have been using LibreLink on my Apple iPhone 8 for at least two years and all has been well until recently. I have had a number of sensors fail to transmit the Bluetooth signal to the phone, This finally led to failures in January, February, March and April! Abbott have been good in...

Which is more stable in its instantaneous value? Isn't CGM by far the more useful measurement? Is there a good correlation between the two measurements? How does the needle in the CGM sample the fluid? Does it not clog or get blocked with time?

Hi all, I am new here, but not new to Diabetes. For this project through Open University I have to interview or gather some feedback from some fellow users of the device or application on your phone. Then, I am to take the feedback and write a report on how the physical device, interface on the...

Hi, after knocking out my FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor, as directed on the FreeStyle Libre website, i've replaced it with a new sensor. When trying to take a reading from the FreeStyle LibreLink app. it recognises the new sensor saying: NEW SENSOR FOUND Starting a new sensor will end the sensor...

I had no idea about this earlier but, today, I put my phone up to my sensor without the app open out of curiosity and it still scanned the sensor, and it took me 4 months since diagnosis to realise this. Not sure if everyone else did this, but hey! It works! (well, on my Samsung phone anyway so...

Hoping someone can help... Ive ordered the 2 week free trial of the Libre 2 sensor. Im just hoping that people have used it before and have good stories on it. Did it make it easier? Did it come off easy after showering when you didnt want it to? Did you find yourself catching it on things...

I’m due to be getting married in August and have recently bought my wedding dress (sleeveless). As much as I would like to have my Libre on show on my arm (I’m all for promoting diabetes awareness), I wondered if anybody has managed to put their Libre sensor on another part of their body and...

Hello everyone, I was thinking of monitoring my BG with a Libre Freestyle 2, so no finger pricking. Has anyone else done this? I'm hoping to find out my BG reaction to certain foods by keeping a food diary. I'd like to keep this discreet. Abbot say I must have a prescription (NHS) but I don't...

Hi I’ve been using the freestyle libre for just over 7 months. About a month ago I was upgraded to the freestyle 2. With both products I’ve experienced a lot of issues with it staying on for the full 14 days, in fact 80% of them fall off within the first week! as per advice from my diabetic...

Hi. I have recently started using the freestyle libre 2, i removed the first one a few days ago. The sticky residue was really difficult to remove and after i had eventually removed it my arm was really red and sore. (I tried alcohol wipes) My question is does anyone know of any other way...

I’ve being using my Knight Ryder with Freestyle Libre but now I have been given Libre 2 on my prescription does anyone know if LinkBluCon will work with these sensors?

Hi, Im lucky enough to be on a Freestyle Libre trial and I am looking for recommendations on iPhone apps that will advise on how much insulin to inject depending on blood sugars and amount of carbs im going to eat. Thanks Gavin

Hi pump users Four days ago, by choice, I changed to an Omnipod Dash pump system after 4 years of using a Medtronic 640G. I am now on my second Pod after having completed 4 days of use and have to say that so far I am extremely pleased I have made the change. I had got really fed up with the...

Hi guys I am just wondering what sensors you use? I wanted the freestyle libre but it is quite expensive for the sensors each month at £100 ( haven’t asked my nurse yet but doubt I’d be eligible via nhs) does anyone use any others that are abit cheaper? I know some might say you can’t put a...

Today I have started using the Freestyle libre sensor musing my iPhone to read it - I have a Accu-check Aviva Expert to calculate my carbs and insulin amounts before meals. Is there a way of doing this on the iPhone Libre App or do I need to get the Libre Reader ? Interested to read what other...

I seemed to have lost my freestyle libre God knows how! I've had the house apart! :facepalm: I use it as my ketone reader I do have a spare ketone reader but this is my preferred way of testing for ketones and obviously getting to the question... Will I have to replace it? I got given it...

I am new to using a CGM and this is the first problem that I've encountered with it. I scan my sensor using my phone, which normally works great. But when I went to check it just now, it wouldn't scan. The first two times that I tried to scan, it said that there had been an error in scanning...

Hi All, I recently bought a MiaoMiao reader after first discovering it last year (took a while to save up for it). The device itself hasnt actually arrived yet but i thought id get started by downloading Spike and browsing through its features. However, upon doing this i have discovered that...

Hi, I am considering going with the Freestyle Libre & the 14 day sensor, in order to make it more of a CGM than a flash scan device I am considering going with the MiaoMiao as an addition. I would just like to know if the MiaoMiao works with the 14 day sensor or not. Has anyone tried it? Thanks.
