Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

[bmtest]

So I have been using Libre 2 for a while now and haven't had 1 sensor last 15 days. They have lasted between 8 hours and 11 days at best. I have found them very unreliable. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know why these sensors are so unreliable?

There a pile of **** but if u learn to sleep like stiff they go the distance.

I’ve found with all the FSL from 1 to 2+ my estimated A1c is 15% higher than what comes back from the lab..
Same with the diabetesconnect app I use to log my meter?

I just noticed your reply on A1c Libre estimates vs lab results. On the contrary, my lab results have been about 10-15% higher. My current Libre estimate is 36 mmol/mol, so even 15% higher would be a great result for me.

12 hours left and the sensor (libre 3 normal version)not far out either. Next I’m going to finally test the libre 3 plus and see how that goes

@Dan161282 I would be interested to hear how you get on with the Libre 3. Abbott informed me it is now available in Canada.

I find it better than libre 2/plus. Smaller, more comfortable, you can get a lot of incorrect lows if you lay on side but overall I find it not to be far out compared to the 2
https://pro.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/...sulin-pumps-and-freestyle-libre-3-system.html also works with pumps

Dexcom one+ worked really well for me but that’s only out in the uk I think but it was the best sensor I have used and it last only 10 days but it was only 0.2 out at most and what I liked about it was when it was reading higher than bloods you can fix it by calibrate and enter bloods in settings and the sensor would read the same as bloods

Thanks @Dan161282

I have been using Libre for about 6 years now with no real issues.

As I am now using Libre 2 I decided to uninstall the original app and have insalled the latest version from Playstore 2.12.1.11476. Think that was a mistake.

I find that it is not giving me automatic readings and I have to manually scan each time I want a reading.

Spoke with Abbot who said that my phone Samsung A14 is not compatible, only the Samsung A14 5 G is compatible. Funny how the phone was compatible 2 days ago with the old app!!!

Anyone else having the same issue or are Abbot fobbing me off.

I noticed in a previous post that the latest software version is 2;12.2

Can anyone advise how to get latest version. Like I said I downloaded what I thought was latest app a few days ago

https://www.dexcom.com/en-GB/compatibility/d1g7 you could try dexcom one+ and trial it. That seems to support your phone. @smc4761
If your in the uk

Weirdly there are 3rd party apps for the Libre that can send to smart watches..
But I’ve never had the need to use the calibration feature. normally & approximately within 0.6Mmol for me with a meter. Give or take any interstitial fluid lag?
I can live with that..

Yes I use Shuggah. The readings are usually around 1mmol out but you can calibrate it. And I can add it to the complications on my apple watch

Update on libre 3 plus. I’m having issues with that being too far out. Act to change it early and getting it replaced
