I had a sensor problem this morning so rang Abbott. They asked me to uninstall and reinstall the app which I did, and when you do that you get the option to choose grams over mmol if that's what you use, you have to flip through several screens to put your preferences in before you can sign back in. I was getting a message in my app saying it couldn't read the sensor, turns out I had got the NFC antenna position wrong, my antenna is in the middle of my phone not the top, and the antenna has only a 4cm range so its important to scan over the antenna. You can Google to find out where yours is. Don't know if the above is any help. Also check you have NFC connection on and your Bluetooth is OK. Hope you sort it.

Hi @KBEDOUI and welcome to the forums.

I think the libre is geolocked so I suspect you may need to download the app from Singapore to read the sensor.... ???

Tagging @Zhnyaka who is both more technologically competent than me and actually uses the libre ...

after 2 weeks of use, the sensor should not be readable, it has an expiration date.

If the sensor is running and you just need to read the readings, you can download the diabox app, I really like it.

If the problem is with geolocation, you can download the app via VPN by setting the desired geolocation, but it doesn't look like that's the problem.

In the end, the sensor may simply be faulty, because I did not notice any difference in the use of sensors from different countries (I used sensors from the UK, France and China and everything was fine)
