I'm struggling to stabilise my blood sugar. I feel sleepy hot sweaty headache checked my blood sugar with my Libra 2 sensor it says 2 mmol been trying for past hour to increase blood sugar level but according to the sensor it's still around 2 mmol but I tested on my old meter and that said 8 mmol which is correct hope I make it through night I live alone

Hi @markyj are your testing strips within date? I would normally 100% believe a glucometer over a flash reader/cgm but am concerned about your symptoms.. Do you feel hypo?
(At 2mmol/L I would be feeling really shaky/hungry and mildly confused).
Got through the night stabilised my blood sugar awoke to find it at 13.1mmol I've started a new libre 2 sensor now the other one wasn't working properly

Yes, I've done that too with a sensor. I kept treating a supposed hypo and when I finally checked with my glucometer I had gone up to nearly 20. It's always worth checking extreme highs and lowd from a sensor with a meter, because sometimes the sensors are off. (Having said that, if it;s a hypo I usually scoff some sugar before checking my meter, just to be on the safe side.)
I don't know if you are self funding your libre or not, but it's worth contacting Abbott to get a replacement if you've had to end it early because it has become inaccurate.
