[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1744980, member: 372717"] I feel your pain. I was a happy libre user for about 9 months, buying it as soon as it became available in Australia. I then started to develop an allergy, but lived with the itching because I liked the device so much. Unfortunately, later in 2017 I found that the sensors started to read LOW by larger and larger amounts, and after nights of LO readings when my bs was in the mid-normal range, I finally gave up and went back to finger pricking. Abbott Australia and NZ were good about replacing sensors and even the reader, but unwilling to discuss the fact that the device just doesn't work for some people. I have one sensor left, which I'll trial before its expiry date, but not really optimistic. I'm interested in dexcom but would want to trial it before making a big upfront payment.... [/QUOTE]
