libre 2

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...

Anybody else worried about over 1400 Bluetooth transmissions (even low power) close to your body and heart every 24 hour period? Does anyone know of a way to turn the Bluetooth off? Anyone come across a statement from Abbot about research showing no long-term risks? And yes, I use Bluetooth...

Hello everyone, recently my mom has been having trouble with the alarms on the libre -libre 2 i think- sensors. So my mom is a type 1 diabetic and got a new phone -galaxy a21s- a couple of months ago, around April or May, so I doubt this is any problem with her phone. All of a sudden the low...

Hi, I have recently bought a Miao miao reader and am hoping to get dexcom cgm soon. I would like to get a smart watch to help keep track of things on the go and wondered if anyone had any tips on good/compatible devices? Thank you!

Dear all, I just joined your community site. Thanks a lot for having it and keep it alive! I need to go for a loop system because my endocrino and I can't get a good basis profile. Reactions to insulin are too unpredictible. But I often have to go to workplaces where smartphones or...

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...

Hi all, I was recently diagnosed type 1 in December and fortunate enough to have started the libre 2 process. I’m on MDI with lantus and novorapid, injecting for every main meal. However the libre has highlighted that my BG’s are up and down like crazy! I’ve worked hard to prevent lows and keep...

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've just taken advantage of the free Libre 2 scanner offer and, after 24 hours, I'm already impressed. I certainly wouldn't bother paying to have one full time but the free trial has already given me some insights as to what happens to my glucose levels around food and, most interestingly, at...

Hi everyone, Hope you are all having a fantastic early Sunday. To provide some context, my wife has been on a keto diet for several months now, we use to use finger prickle and then moved to Freestyle libre 2. In the beginning, we use both measurements, however after finding a significant...

Hello. Posting this, partly to confirm my understanding, and also in the probably vain hope that someone involved with Abbot may read it and pass it back to their technical team. While using the Libre, I have found several times that when blood sugars are changing rapidly (usually due to...

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this. I use the libre2 with the libre app, and running alongside it I use diabox calibrated to give me a better correlation to blood sugar readings. this morning after 6 days of use my libre app came up with an error message saying the sensor isn’t...

So on my second Libre 2 sensor now and one thing that's become clear to me is that whilst the Alarms are useful there are times when they're not. I've set my range quite tight (to account for the continued drop/spike after the alarm is triggered). The thing is the Libre has always been...

Hi. Just gone into Libre 2 and have set the alarms (which work) but when I go to bed, how do I silence my phone except for the Libre alarms? I've tried changing all sorts on my phone but the only way the Libre alarms work is if I leave my ringer on at night and get loads of Facebook...

Hi all, My wife's LibreFree just notified her of low sugar after waking up from a nap (last meal intake over 2 h ago). I tested and returned 3.3mmol then after 5 min 3.1mmol. I found it unusual so I decided to do a finger test as we are at home. To my surprise, the finder reads 7.0mmol!! The...
