Hi just wondering if anyone can help me I used libre 2 for the first time last night, I had the libre before but thought it would be great as libre 2 has alarms, well started using it and seemed OK, then alarms woke me, showing hypo, checked with finger prick test 6.2, so went back to sleep, went off again hour later, reading 2.9, done finger prick test 5.8, so turned alarm off, then just before I got up, it sent alarm reading LO which was puzzling as alarms off? I was at that point 7.00 on finger prick test, later this morning it stopped working altogether, I always got on very well with libre before, but my question is I went on Apixaban blood thinners last week, and it did bleed when I put new sensor on, does any one know if Apixaban stops it from working properly, I've been going through the mill lately with on going problems, hoping this isn't another one, if any one out there knows please let me know, I have put another sensor on and that bled as well which I know can happen, ringing freestyle tomorrow for replacement. Thanks for reading.
I have now put a libre on 1 arm and libre 2 on other, as had a spare libre that I bought my self, the libre nearly matches blood glucose monitor, as it always did, libre 2 taking a dive to low readings, my conclusion is libre 2 not reliable and will be showing low hypo readings tonight with alarms going off as last night, I will keep on arm until that happens when it will come off su h a shame don't understand it, was great idea with alarms
