[QUOTE="KidChameleon, post: 2378635, member: 540144"] Well that was a disaster. I decided to try it on my abdomen/stomach (a couple of inches to the side of the belly button). It clicked on okay (and the needle went in). But then after the 60 minute wait was up I kept getting the message. [I][B]"Glucose reading Not available. Try again in 10 minutes"[/B][/I] repeatedly over the ensuing 30 minutes (I´m using the official Freestyle Libre 2 Reader). Then it decided to just give up with a final message something along the lines of [I][B]"Sensor is not working please take off and replace"[/B][/I] Then subsequently switching to the default [I][B]´No Active sensor´[/B][/I]. [B][I] ´Sensor Ended´ ´Start a New Sensor to check glucose[I][B]´[/B][/I].[/I][/B] So. One sensor wasted. :banghead: Fortunately, I was sent 3 months sensors in advance. So I can replace it immediately if desired (back on NHS prescription in the UK, the three times I had sensor issues happened with the 2nd sensor out of the 2 a month you get - Sod´s Law - so I had to switch back to finger pricking for a short time). It could be a coincidence, but unlikely. It looks like I´ll have to go back using my arm. [/QUOTE]
