Message: <blockquote data-quote="onnecar" data-source="post: 2746382" data-attributes="member: 153437">Two points I would like to make here. Yes the libre 2 is being phased out in favour of the plus. I buy mine from my local chemist, as I don't qualify for a free one. I have an account with Abbotts and used to buy them from the site, but had trouble with delivery as I'm never in to receive the parcel and they won't leave it. I was paying £52 with the libre 2 and now it's gone up to £56. However, I checked on line and it's still only £51.74. Apparently this is due to fact that the chemist have to buy through the pharmacy portal and not directly from the website. You can only buy a limited number direct from the website. The pharmacy portal incidentally, is not controlled by Abbotts. The second point I would like to make is. I am now wearing my first libre plus sensor and the result is not great so far. Bearing in mind I've done nothing different and it is not a compression issue. I have had several false hypo readings, which at first I treated, even though I felt perfectly fine. Only when I remembered to do a finger prick test as back up, did I realise that they are false readings. It was stressful and led me to take in unnecessary extra calories. I know you can send them back, but it is very inconvenient and time consuming. I have three days left on this sensor now and will be aware of the possibility of errors more so. I am also going to try scanning more to see if that helps. If the same thing happens with the next plus sensor, I will contact Abbotts.</blockquote>
