[QUOTE="Emck, post: 2426625, member: 498565"] Hi everyone, Just checking if anyone else has had similarly bad experiences with the Libre 2 sensors… Overall, I’ve definitely found that the adhesive is not as strong compared with the original libre. Maybe it’s the lack of alcohol swab- did it maybe create a better adhesive surface? With the hot weather and exercise causing me to melt into a sweaty puddle I am lucky to get a week out of a libre 2 normally! However, since last Saturday, I have gone through 4 separate sensors. Whilst changing on Saturday one came off (after about 3 days use), then on Monday one stopped working after a workout, today one just stopped working out of the blue and the one that I used to replace it had a shoddy applicator and the needle that guides the filament into the skin got broke off and got stuck in my arm. I am going to call abbot about all of these issues, but I wanted to check if the problems were across the board?? I’m lucky that I get 4sensors at a time as my prescription. Hopefully this last one I have on hangs on until Abbot can replace the rest!! [/QUOTE]
