libre sensor

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...

Hi all, Currently had my libre sensor in for a 4 days and notice it’s been aching/like a bruising pain around the area and up my arm no bruising is viable but it’s very uncomfortable. Is this normal!? I’ve been using Libre probably since it was released so it’s the First sensor I’ve really had...

Hi! I'm brand new to using the libre sensor, still got the first one I've ever had attached to my arm. However, it is starting to peel a little on one side. Still very much attached at the moment! Just wondering if anyone has any advice for keeping it attached for the remaining 6 days and for...

hi all, first post here, i joined to ask a question. i have been on the libre for about 4 months now and it usually works great, never had a sensor fail but yesterday i put a new sensor on, exactly as i would usually, i change the arm everytime and scanned it, after 60 minutes i got this...

Hi, So i am trying to get my sugars under control so we can start a family. Currently my HBa1C is around 8.4 which is obviously no where near good enough to start a family. I have stopped drinking alcohol and have had the Freestyle libre for around a month now. My sugars do not seems to have...

I'm fairly new to Libre. I've had mixed success with sensors, a couple were great, 2 stopped working and 1 fell off. I started one on Tuesday, but it stopped working tonight after I knocked my arm against a door frame. I have another sensor , but am worried that I might knock it again. I was...

I've lost the Libre Sensor stuck to my arm by scraping through a door, diving in water and getting it knocked off. My doctor lets me have transparent plasters to keep the Libre Sensor on. But I've got a better idea...! Buy a pair of sports socks and cut off the ankle. My one with a Nike symbol...

I've always been told that NovoRapid takes aroung 15 minutes to get going and lasts for 4 hours. I bought a Libre sensor at the weeking (amasing) and have been using it since Sunday lunchtime. On Sunday night my BG was about 6 when I ate at 10pm (60g carbs patsa) I took my normal doe of novo...

If you are like me and are having to buy the sensors go to The ASDA pharmacy they keep a stock in and charge £44 (VAT EXAMPT) or £55(with vat)

I just started this about a month ago. The first sensor failed immediately. Fortunately I still had the old tester and strips left over. FreeStyle replaced the sensor. The second sensor gave erroneous readings for low blood sugar. It claimed 45 when my old meter said 95. They replaced it...

Does anyone please have any ides for me, I've been using the Libre Sensor for about 4 months now and I know that a lot of people have some trouble with getting the sensor to stay on for two weeks, but for some reason I have the complete opposite problem. I can never get it off, it is always so...

I just wanted to let people know this: I was searching for a compatible phone to use with the FreeStyle Libre sensor using the LibreLink app to scan it. You need a phone with NFC for this (stands for "Near Field Communication") and Android 5.0 or higher, or iPhone 7 I think, according to...

MASS PANIC is the summary of this morning when I realised it's just over a month before I travel to Japan for 2 weeks. I've so many questions and I want educated answers, as opposed to recommendations that you find on google or something. If you can answer any of these questions- you are my life...

I'm a type 1 who is struggling to get HB1AC down to acceptable levels. Since wearing the Libre I am amazed at the different patterns my bloods are during the night - sometimes i have been sleeping through lows and another night blood sugas go sky high. I am on Tresiba and Novorapid but I do...
