Is it come in English and MG/DLGO GO GO!
I just placed my order
Dependent on the country you order from it comes in the units appropriate for that country. UK is mmol/l.Is it come in English and MG/DL
It has been released in Sweden...Does anyone have any idea when the official Android app is due for release.
last year it was imminent, due start of the new year.
Tried contacting the main site a few times, but no reply.
Hi, I've just been reading the reviews online and people have experienced problems with security sensors going off 'beep' when entering libraries and some shops. I would worry about airport security! I think, like you, I will wait a while.Will wait till the "live" guinea pigs come with some feedback before I rush in.
The post you quoted was nearly 18 months ago. Many of us have travelled with it since then with no issues.Hi, I've just been reading the reviews online and people have experienced problems with security sensors going off 'beep' when entering libraries and some shops.

thanks ,finally i get one Free style libre which i want , but i face one problem i cant download the software its closed in my regionDependent on the country you order from it comes in the units appropriate for that country. UK is mmol/l.
What you find with it is that it tends to be consistently out when it is out. For those of us who use insulin, it's remarkably useful, in terms of tracking spikes, effects of insulin, understanding timing of insulin, pre-empting hypos, etc, and working out what you need to do to better manage yourself. In that sense, it is generally 100% reliable in that it faithfully represents the falls and rises in your blood glucose levels. That's far more beneficial to us than the spot reading at a point in time.Unfortunately, my first impression appears to have been overly optimistic: after 10 days, my first sensor started reading wildly under (1.5 - 2 under a finger prick reading after 15 minutes)
.
Having read about needing corroborating evidence from finger prick readings using the Libre reader, I had bought some (extortionately expensive!) optium strips so had the data to hand to back this up. I took the sensor off and put a new one one, but this second one didn't activate properly.
I rang up the care line and to be fair to them they are sending me two new sensors
However, that's not the end of my issues: the newest sensor I am wearing has now been on nearly 2 days and this one is reading 1.5 over a finger prick test!
This thing costs an absolute fortune but appears to be completely unreliable and I don't think I will continue to use it. I am tempted to ask for a refund of the £250 (plus £20 for 50 optium test strips) I spent on the starter kit and 2 extra sensors as I am on my third one now and have had about 4 days worth of reliable readings.
Unfortunately, it doesn't even seem to be consistently out! Take this morning's readings:What you find with it is that it tends to be consistently out when it is out.

But if you aren't taking any notice of that aspect, then I'd agree, you might as well stick with finger pricking. It's not as though Finger pricking is accurate either though...
Certainly sounds as though you've ended up with a host of dodgy sensors. That happens sometimes. I went through a period last year where I replaced about 6 on the trot.Unfortunately, it doesn't even seem to be consistently out! Take this morning's readings:
6:17am - 3.7 finger prick
6:32am - 5.8 scan
So that means the scan is reading 2.1 above the finger prick (allowing 15 minutes as it's interstitial on the scanner - I took readings between and they were all the same too)
6:59am - 4.3 finger prick
7:14am - 9.0 scan
So it's now 4.7 out and a 0.6 increase on finger prick has translated to a 3.2 increase on the scan
About the only thing I can derive from the graph is that my blood sugar increases when I eat and then drops, but I knew that already - it's completely useless to indicate exactly how much the food affects me because it's reading an inconsistent amount above
I actually bought this so I could get some graphs to show my Dr and hopefully reduce my meds, but it's certainly not going be any use for that!

I was talking to Abbott earlier this week as I'd gotten a duff sensor and apparently they're going to overhaul the software soon thank goodness.
My main complaint at the time was that my sensor had been underestimating by 50-100%, any time I was under 5 it just said "LO". I'd worn it for 5 days in the vain hope it would sort itself out but it didn't of course.
Now when I look on the software it has totally ruined my estimated HbA1c, the charts that show 90th and 95th percentile readings and of course red lights across the board on the traffic light bit and the software doesn't allow any way to exclude that data without binning all the data prior to the dodgy sensor too. Grrrr!
Of course they've designed it this was to stop "cheating" but I can't understand why you can't just exclude data and the software would then just flag up the fact that you've done that on the report. Besides, I'm an adult and if I cheat I'm only cheating myself, there should be an option to make the software restrictive using a password if you're a parent of a child but this should be an option and not the default behaviour in my opinion.
Most very, very odd!
...
So, I restarted the software, it's still the same, but the software is telling me the reader time differs from the laptop time, and wants me change it. Changing it won't affect the data, so I go ahead. I re-run the reports; no change. As I had had the same message a couple of weeks ago, after coming back to the UK, and I didn't lose anything, I just went ahead.
