Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 2383918" data-attributes="member: 372717">Are you saying that wearing the libre sensor possibly caused your dad's blood sugar to go high?Not something that I have ever heard of but a lot of people have allergic reactions to the sensors and/or glue.  Stress and/or illness pushes blood sugars higher so I can imagine that this might be the case for your dad?I personally had to stop using the libre 1 after a year because I developed an allergy to the sensors and this also caused the readings from the libre to become completely inaccurate.  (I now use the dexcom and so far so good.)You could try contacting Abbott for advice but they will probably deny everything. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Out of interest, how much higher were his readings than normal?</blockquote>
