[QUOTE="TerriH, post: 2445373, member: 284021"] There are problems with Libre 2 sensors and I too have contacted Abbott several times but it is a fact that some sensors do not adhere properly and fall off or become "unreadable" even after one day and therefore have to be replaced. The "stickability is an issue both when showering or in my case when I am asleep and turn onto the arm where the sensor is placed. I have found that placing the sensor on my underarm does solve the problem - SO FAR!!! - but reports of problems with the sensors are widespread and the cost to surgeries, patients and Abbott themselves are very concerning. If I am concerned about the accuracy of the reading, I then do a finger prick and use my meter but this is a wonderful product notwithstanding and a marvelous help in the control of blood glucose. I feel that it should be available to ALL diabetics as the cost saving cannot be denied - far less complications, hospital admissions and the health and wellbeing of diabetics -. [/QUOTE]
