Libre launcher issues!

[ArtemisBow]

Don’t know whether I am just unlucky or whether there’s been a drop in overall quality, but I have had a lot of issues with the spring load of my libre sensors in the last 6 months. Regularly they are not firing in one go, or the needle starts so far down it’s already jabbing my skin when I hold it in the right place - and as a consequence the sensors themselves are not working (either reading low or not at all), and when I take them off it’s obvious why - the cannula has bent because the insertion wasn’t right. They keep replacing the faulty sensors so it’s not costing me anything but I’m bored of ringing up, and I don’t believe the issue is with the sensor, it’s with the insertion device.

Anyone else experiencing the same and any tips for getting them to fire better?

Touch wood.... this is not a problem I’ve encountered. Sorry no help here but hopefully this will bump the thread for others to see.
