Freestyle Libre 2 (I think) - no Bluetooth - oh...

[LittleGreyCat]

Having become accustomed to taking my phone absolutely everywhere with me because otherwise it cries like an abandoned child, I realised that the current sensor hadn't complained one however neglectful I had been.

I checked the alarm settings, and they said that the alarms only work with a Libre 2 which had been started with this device.
[However, checked again and this is just a generic statement, regardless of connection status (I think).]

I am pretty certain that it was a Libre 2, but..............

..........well, there's a thing.

I was in the middle of posting this when the abandoned child started crying its heart out.
7 days into the use, and narry a bleep before.

I was about to ask how you could check if the sensor was L1 or L2 once it was on the arm, which I still don't know, but moot point for the moment.

This does leave me with one question: do different sensor have different Bluetooth sensitivity?
Anyone else experienced variable range?

I would not be surprised if the Bluetooth sensitivity can vary.
As these are disposable (rather than something like a pair of Bluetooth headphones which should last for years), the quality of the components may well be cheaper.

With regard to checking whether you have a LIbre 1 or 2, you can check on the app.
If you click on the "hamburger" (three horizontal lines) on the top right, and select "About" you will see the "Software Release Version"as well as the serial numbers of the last 3 sensors.

If you still have the sensor box it will say if it's a Libre 2. If you have alarms switched on having used a Libre 2 and then use a Libre 1 by mistake the phone will tell you that alarms will be silent as happened to me when I bought the wrong sensor
