[QUOTE="rolandxkey, post: 2394206, member: 542271"] I've been using Libre 2 for 76 days. My first sensor didn't connect to alarms, Abbott sent me a replacement and been fine since then. I have a Samsung A5 phone. But, while I find Libre 2 great in relation to finger pricking, I do have practical issues with it: Firstly I've had to suppress all notifications from ALL other apps because they often (not always) cause the alarm system to disconnect and I'm unaware this has happened. I have to manually check for messages, for example, including urgent ones. Secondly, I'm Type 3c (no pancreas= no glucagon) so when my BG falls it can do so very rapidly. Even with the low alarm set at the highest setting of 5.6 this sometimes isn't soon enough to stop a hypo. Why do Abbott think they know better than me what the low limit needs to be? Thirdly, even with the notifications suppressed the app and sensor still stop communicating, typically at least once per sensor, for 30-60 minutes. Again, you don't know this is occurring, unless you're checking = frightening. Does anyone else have such problems? On the plus side the LibreView reports are great, expanding on those visible through the app. But some use vocabulary that is different to the reports on the app. However LibreView only works through a PC, which in this day and age is infuriating. Why not accessible from a high spec tablet? Nowadays I have little other use for a PC. [/QUOTE]
