Second post of the day but here goes.
Whilst recently on holiday in Crete I was caught out in a thunderstorm and got soaked to the skin. My Libre reader was as usual in my shirt breast pocket and it too got a good soaking. I soon found out the machine had completely stopped working, even after I had dried it out. I was a bit annoyed that had happened but thought that I would just have to use my APP on my smart phone. Nope! It kept telling me to activate a new sensor but as the one I was using had only been in use 3 days I was reluctant to give up on it. After searching the internet I came across another APP that was free, downloaded it and hey presto it worked. I won't post the name of the APP in case those kind people at Abbott Laboratories try to block it but I will say it is actually a better APP than the one Abbott recommend. If any one wants to know it's name pvt me a message and I will pass it on.
Abbott really need to sort their own APP out.
