[QUOTE="DavidDK, post: 2492320, member: 328407"] Yes Daibell I was quite surprised also. With the Libre 1 I think I had literally at most two sensors fail over the course of just over a year. Unfortunately the number of Libre 2s I've had fail is in double figures. As for accuracy issues, clearly the manufacturer has changed the algorithm used in Libre 2 to the one used in Libre 1. For some people the Libre 2 algorithm works absolutely fine, but for others it doesn't (even if the sensor is inserted 24/48 hours before it is started). And the manufacturer has made a conscious decision to make the Libre a closed system, so - unlike Dexcom - users can't self-calibrate sensors to make readings closer to a fingerstick test. In theory at least the Libre 3 may be a better proposition as it is supposed to send readings to your phone every minute and there is no need to scan the sensor to get a reading. [/QUOTE]
