[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2343023, member: 345386"] I'm not a Dexcom user, but have used Libre on and off since it came out. I am one of those folks who has loads of failures and lots that reading completely wonky numbers. On the upside, aside from once when it was rock solidly my fault, I haven't had adhesion issues. I have come to conclude that there is something in my chemistry that means it just doesn't work so well for me as it seems to do for others. To be fair to Dexcom, if they are replacing failed sensors you are not financially out of pocket, and whilst a CGM or Flash Monitor is a great, informative tool, they are rarely life preserving, and as such it could be considered you choose to subscribe to their products. Have you tried other CGMs to see if they suit you better? I know it's frustrating. I have my approach with Abbot well phrased now, to ensure I have all the data to hand when I have a wonky sensor.
