I have been using the freestyle libre continuously for over 5 years now and the Libre 2 for the past couple years. There has been some that aren’t very accurate but most have been fine, and hardly any have failed midway through the 2 weeks.
However, for the past few months I have had sensor...
Hello all,
Sorry if I'm the 100th person to post or ask this question, but I'm unable to get a solid answer!
Since the last LibreLink (iPhone) update I no longer receive CGM updates, have to manually scan again and the app continuously shows a bluetooth error. Is this the same for...
Hello, can anyone advise me about getting a Libre 2 sensor in the Austrian Tyrol, or at a push Germany as we are within driving distance of the border.
We're on holiday, a sensor has just been knocked off and phoning round local pharmacies isn't bringing much joy !!! I'm pretty sure you can buy...
Hello all!
This is my first post and really I’m just wanting to share my story, see if there is anyone on here who has a similar story to mine or has any ideas which might help. It’s a bit of a story but I’ll try and keep it shortish!
I’m 37 now but was 32 when I moved across the country and...
Hi all,
I’m due to fly in a weeks time and now super stressed about security and all the scanners etc!
Now I know that the libre I am wearing can only go through the metal detector and not the full body scanner.
What I’m worried about is my spare sensors in my medical bag. When I get to the...
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 there!
I am 24 year old diabetic, living with type 1 for 9 years in the UK
Today i realised my Freestyle Libre 2 sensor app would not work, kept showing me a blank screen.
Spent hours on hold to ABBOTT who have let me know they’ve had an issue with their update, and that they don’t know...
Hello, my libre 2 sensor is showing the result before I even scan. I’ve never had this before. I checked to confirm it’s definitely libre 2 not 3. When I scan it just confirms the result already showing on the screen. Has anyone else had this or know of this error? Many thanks, Lee. Suffolk UK
Hi there,
I am currently using Libre 1, as that is all that's available in my part of the world, but recently seen on this forum, that people are buying the Libre 2 in the UK. I did not think it was possible or needed as they are given for free on the NHS, but it seems that I was wrong.
So I...
Hello all,
I've had a Libre 2 since September, and it's been great. However, in the last couple of months my phone doesn't seem to be able to scan first time. I'm not getting an error, it's just not picking it up, and I'm having to scan 4 or 5 times to get a reading. I have an iPhone SE 2nd...
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...
Hi I'm type 2 and usually order direct from Abbott, but due to strikes and the fact I'm going into town tomorrow I'd like to see if I can pick one up from a shop.
But can I? Who supplies them?
Hi,
I've seen a few posts regarding getting the libre sensor on prescription, so I'm trying to get some advice.
My mother is almost 90 and has been type 2 for over 40 years and always well controlled with medication.
Until June this year when we were told that her meds would be changed...
Hey, new round here but thought I would try this out.
So I have been using Libre 2 since around may ish this year. most of the time works great and how it should. But I seem to get a problem when applying it every now and then.
so the first time I did it followed the instructions worked fine...
Hi all,
On a recent visit to the doctors I have once again been told that I am pre-diabetic. I am eager to reverse this as I am on no medications (diet changes only). The reason I went to the doctors was for a full blood test as I was feeling lightheaded and sometimes dizzy.
I recently...
I have been on the Libre2 sensor system for over a year after previously being on the Libre 1.
These sensors seem extremely unreliable and temperamental. Have you heard this before?
I've attached a some of screenshots showing when they stop communicating with me and then later on fail...
Hi Everyone
Hope you can help me.
How do those of you using an iPhone and Libre 2 get on with the warning alarms?
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and have not managed to get it to give the low/high blood glucose alarms, only occasionally would it work and it didn’t seem to be related to how...
So, yesterday I had my trial libre 2 meeting with my hospital nurse. I self funded 4 sensors a couple of years ago, but could not get them to work with my phone. After leaving the hospital, it started to come away from the skin, wouldn't scan and eventually failed. The hospital gave me another...
Hi all,
is anyone else having issue after issue with libre 2 the past few weeks?
I’m on my third sensor in two weeks and I think it’s failing now too! It’s reading high above 12 when I’m under 10 on finger prick.
the previous two had similar issues too. One sent me an error message through the...
Hello!
I recently got the Insulin calculator set up on my libre 2 reader. However, I am confused as to how it works, because it doesn't always give me the option to make insulin bolus calculations.
Often when I scan my blood sugar, it still just shows the pen tool to enter my insulin and...
