freestyle libre 2

After a few years of no problems I’m having problems with my Freestyle libre 2 reader so have decided as I need an iPhone anyway now is the time to buy one. Does anyone have experience with libre 2 and the latest 18 iOS. The current freestyle compatibility webpage gives an iOS of up to 17.5.1.

Hello there. First time poster on this forum, so I apologise in advance if I've put this post in the wrong place. I'm seeking some advice from fellow diabetics who are Type 1 and use the Libre 2 sensors, as I've recently encountered an issue that I'm unsure about. For context, I've been Type...

Hi everyone! This is already 4th freestyle libre I am using and I always have the same problem. I the first 9 days my fasting is good, but last 5 days it's out of range. The difference is about 1 mmol/l. I don't change diet or my daily activity for the lat 5 days, so looks like the freestyle is...

Is anyone else having a problem linking their Novopens Echo Plus to the recently updated freestyle 2 app? This morning when I tried to scan one of my pens I ended up with the freestyle white screen of death. After deleting and reinstalling and scanning the pens the app failed again. I spoke...

I've had several problem sensors in a row now not connecting via bluetooth, so they can't give any alarms. I normally start the sensor with the reader, then use DiaBox on my android. This has worked for me for a while and I can't think of anything I've changed. The reader gets readings when I...

Hi, very recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic dog looking for advice re. Freestyle libre 2. She's had it on since yesterday and is consistently showing high so we're needing to monitor very closely, is there a way to scan on 2 phones please? Currently I can scan on my phone however when I log out...

Hi I have started using a Freestyle Libre 2 to track my bg but nothing is making them stick. I have fully prepared the area by cleaning it, making sure there's no skin abnormalities, using an alcohol wipe and drying it before applying. After applying I have put a sticker over them. I have had...

Hi guys :) I was just wondering if any of my fellow Type 1 Diabetics have suffered/suffer from cold hands/feet/nose? Over the last 4 months or so (during the winter in the UK) I've noticed that my hands are cold; occasionally my feet and nose get cold but it's mainly my hands. I had a blood...

Hi all, I don’t often post here but do regularly find answers to most questions/problems, except this one. I’ve been using the Freestyle Libre 2 for about a year now. Over the past few months I’ve found myself having to scan the sensor with my phone (iPhone 11) between 2 and 4 times to get a...

Anyone have any ideas or know of smallish tubs to put my freestyle libre test strips in. I found it so much easier carrying around my meter ect. When the strips were in tubs rather than individual packages so am hoping to find a tub or container or something to put them in ( even if I leave them...

I've been a Type 1 diabetic for 48 years now and have seen many changes. At the moment I have a FreeStyle Libre 2 which has been a total game changer. If you haven't got one get one !! I have just found out about the Omnipod Dash which sounds great and the type of thing that I would like to...

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've been a diabetic for 20 years and only been on the Libra for the last year. I was referred to it as my Hc was around 9- 12. Not good, even though I thought it was ok-ish. Or good enough. And I was beginning to feel the consequences. Legs cramping up while cycling; background retinopathy...

Hi, I've looked through the threads about carrying and wearing the FreeStyle Libre in airports but have an odd question I didn't see mentioned. For my spare libres, can I take them unboxed or is it safer to keep them packaged in their boxes? Has anybody had any experience with it? Would just...

Hi all I’m new to the site and have a question regarding the Libre 2 sensor which I have just been offered. I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. Can you use the reader and the phone app at the same time or is it one device (reader or app) per a sensor. I can’t find it but I’m sure I read...

Is anyone else mad at Abbott for encrypting the data on the Freestyle Libre 2?! After going through hoops I got it on the NHS but can't download data to the brilliant Diabetes:M app. I use this for bolus calculations and one of my main reasons for wanting a Libre was because these would be more...

I have been using the freestyle libre since January 2019. The sensors were great and most of them lasted the full 2 weeks on my arm. I was upgraded to the libre 2 in March this year and since then, the sensors have been a nightmare. I haven’t had a single sensor stay on my arm for the full 2...

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...

Since switching to the Freestyle libre 2's I don't think the sensor has ever managed a full 14 days. In fact the longest a sensor has survived has been 5 days. In the last 10 days alone I've been through 4 sensors all ending with the "This sensor no longer works" message. I've not changed how I...

Dear Readers, I was coming to the forum to see if this has happened to anyone else but I have been using Freestyle Libre 1 for the last year and a half with no issues and I’ve started on Libre 2 - all was fine until recently where my readings of my blood vs Freestyle has been so off, my blood...
