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

[moray lass]

I haven't any problems with the libre 2 plus so far. Lasts the full fifteen days and sticks on well , too well sometimes!
It has saved my fingers no end. Wouldn't want to be without it now. Aren't we lucky to get it on the NHS !!!

Have Abbott said librelink isn’t compatible with ios26?

Yes software not updated

Dexcom also has complaints NHS seen to prefer libre at least in my area ,. Same idea with news rarer to hear good things, bad things such as complaints usually heard a lot louder alongside if something is used more frequent. It would be interesting to see direct comparison of both on same person wearing both for a good few months, to see if it's across the board or just hear due to sheer number of users . Despite quirks and limitations love the libre even thou this time around it's reading approx 1 mmol under fingerpricks

One mmol is nothing and well with in tolerances. I have two blood glucose monitors that show that much apart both tested with solution for accuracy.

My pharmacist has now issued a yellow card about Libre 2 plus because of the issues with sensors not working. This is dangerous and Abbott don’t seem to be responding

I've just done 3 fingerprick tests on the same meter within 2 min of each other. One came up 5.6, the other 2 as 7.7. Libre says 6.8.
Frustrating.

Perhaps you newly diagnosed may think this is not good enough but i'me sure i'me not the only old git on here who's thinking you don't know how lucky you are and should feel blessed that you have such a good tool for managing your diabetes , go back to the chemistry set and peeing in a test tube, but even then I don't think we moaned about it ,and we're still here , please be grateful .

This is due to incompatibility with IOS 26, Abbott have not updated their software. Has anyone tried Dexcom?

This is not true, at least for me. Yes I am now using Dexcoms but I was using Libre 2 plus’s on iOS 26 on my iPhone 14 Pro before I swapped without problems. Incidentally I swapped for price and the ability to view my readings on my Apple Watch not reliability.

That’s interesting as Abbott don’t list IOS 26 as compatible

I wonder if it’s just they don’t update the list rather than the actual functionality?

My Libre 2 plus sensor is giving wildly inaccurate low results - I've finally turned off the low alarm as it was going off regularly. For instance a reading of 3.3 on the sensor was 5.8 on a fingerstick. I'm not sure what to do next as Abbott don't seem to be addressing the issue.

Hi my Libre 2 plus give me very low inaccurate reading too compare to finger pricking . I am self funded and kidney transplant patients. My Gp won’t give me prescription to buy sensor she said it’s only for the type 1 diabetes patients. Yeh libre 2plus is definitely not very reliable.
