This is my 4th sensor since starting on the Libre 2 just over two weeks ago, and only one sensor has gone the full 14 days. The latest error says: "Glucose reading is unavailable. Try scanning again in 11 hours."
Seriously? 11 hours? Is this a bogus error or is it actually going to sort itself out in 11 hours? At ~$90 a sensor, I don't want to pull it out just in case, but...11 hours?
Is this normal or do I just have bad luck?
Hi Bryun, both my son and I are Type 1 diabetics and both have the Freestyle 2 sensor you have. We both do not experience the error you've mentioned though both of us have seen the 'scan in 10 minutes' message from time to time.
Neither of us, however, have seen the replacement frequency you have seen so it is definitely worth speaking to Abbott about this as it is not normal by any means.
Looking at some of the comments above then there are some options to check in the meantime; bluetooth is certainly one I will look into - especially if this is related to your phone (I had an issue with a near depleted sensor recently losing connection with my iPhone; it nearly drained the battery on the phone with it 'pinging' the sensor looking for data...); if it is the reader then ask for another reader as well just to be on the safe side.
Overall, though, we have both found this transformative in the way we can actively manage our conditions and I would urge you to try and get some definite answers from Abbott on what you are experiencing. Good luck!
