[QUOTE="tom58, post: 1832848, member: 49969"] Yes, I had exactly the same problem as Miss90 with continual LO readings last Saturday and just before going to bed too. Had changed the sensor at 6pm that evening but it had worked fine for the next four hours. Luckily had some blood test strips, as I didn't have a replacement sensor, so could still monitor my BS levels. Kept reading the Libre. Sometimes it said faulty sensor but mostly it said LO. All of a sudden on Sunday evening, twenty four hours after first fitting the sensor, the meter began to read again. The BS levels recorded were rather low but after a few hours the Libre returned to normal. Blood test and Libre readings were virtually identical. Still good now, two days later. Have used Libre for over six months and this is the first time ever such an incident has occurred. Bit worrying but just glad it wasn't the other way around. Imagine a normal reading if you were on the brink of a hypo... hopefully that could never happen. Just to be safe I'm testing by both methods for the remaining ten days life of this sensor. [/QUOTE]
