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...

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...

My mum, who is type 1, has an appt at the hospital Friday, to discuss getting a sensor. But she's worried that she won't meet the criteria. She does about 8 blood tests a day...but it was more a few weeks ago. She has arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, which makes it painful or difficult to...

Hi all, I’m on the Medtronic 670g and spend >95% in auto mode. I do really like the pump but have had issues with the Sensor 3 (and Enlite before that). Just thought I’d share tips on how to prevent bleeding and improve the sensor experience: 1) Must do: put pressure on the sensor after...

I’m just about to be given a libre and was wondering how other t1s have found it? Has it improved your control? What can I expect?

Hey I have been using freestyle Libre from April. And from April till now I had problems with 3 of my sensors. So basically, I open one as usual, another one I turn to open. Then I put one into another and press hard under flat surface and then lift and apply on my skin. But 3 times I had...

Hi everyone, My name's Ellie and I'm completely new to having an account on this website although I've been reading the forums for a while now I'm pretty nervous about posting as I get afraid I'll sound silly. I am currently 24+6 pregnant. At the end of January, I received a phone call from...

Hi I am trying a new way of monitoring my glucose level. The average started at 6.7, but using a sensor, the average today is 5.1. I am taking my gl every 30 minutes and normally will do a one minute star jump. The constant monitoring allows me to know what food and snacks make my gl peak or...

Hi everyone, I'm new to using the Freestyle Libre - and was diagnosed with T1DM in February. I've been finding that the libre has been really off in comparison to my finger prick readings - especially at night time before bed. For example tonight my Libre is reading 3.8, but I do not feel as...

Hi. Firstly my immediate query. Since I have just taken off my first ever Freestyle Libre (I'm trailing it for a month) - which the doctor actually put on. Any tips for putting on a new one? As I haven't got a clue. Does it have to go on a certain part of your body (mine was on my upper arm...

Has anyone ever noticed a small dimple or depression on the top of their Libre sensor? I am NOT talking about the little hole right in the very middle. I am talking about the very small depression, about 1.5mm in diameter, about 5mm from the outer edge of the sensor. Somebody said, on another...

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.

Hey everyone, I am making a report for a biology course on artificial pancreas and as a part of it, I need to know why does FreeStyle Libre lasts 14 days and no longer than that. Is it a tissue response? Do you have articles or sources of where to find this information? I was unsuccessful to...

I have been having a difficult time getting these things to stay in place. All the ads from Libre show these deliriously happy women showing off their sensors and there is no indication of added cover to help them stay in place. I have used Nexcare Tegaderm waterproof dressing and it worked for...

Hi Recently had a bad sensor, I called Abbot, and they were super understanding and sent me a new sensor. However, I never received an email to confirm that they had put in a new order for me? Has anyone else experienced this? They also said that they would send me a pack to send back the bad...
