[QUOTE="AdmiralSausage, post: 1528253, member: 427208"] This is the second sensor I've had in a row develop a fault like this: [ATTACH]23535[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]23536[/ATTACH] So my readings fall through the floor overnight, I get frequent "try again in 10 minutes" errors, and there are gaps in the graph. It's been acting up for a couple of days now, but is still stuck to my arm like a limpet. Readings are totally unreliable. Glimp is doing its heroic best to offset the raw data by about 8 mmol/l to match the blood glucose readings I'm giving it, but the end result is still not usable. The Abbott careline said I might see this overnight if I slept on the sensor (which I probably did) but that "once you wake up and give the sensor some time to 'breathe', it should improve". That hasn't happened. Does this regularly happen to anyone else? I really like the Libre system but it doesn't seem reliable enough to justify the huge cost right now! Thanks... [/QUOTE]
