[QUOTE="Cathy E, post: 2547077, member: 560236"] Hi I am a long term user of Freestyle Libre 1 and then 2. I never experienced any real problems with FL 1. Since switching to FL2 a couple of years ago, like you I have experienced so many problems. And the proportion of failing sensors seems to have increased steadily, to the point where I would say less than 50% actually succeed for the full 2 weeks: some fall off (not too many), others simply stop working and I just get error messages. Approx one in four fail even to get started - I get all sorts of error messages. Abbott replaced my reader at one point, but that made no difference to the level of sensor failures. The other issue which is super-annoying is that the reader's battery charge only last for 1-2 days - whereas the FL1 readers charge lasted for 1-2 weeks. Abbott are great at sending out free replacement sensors but I can't help thinking that they should sort out product quality - FL2 is simply unreliable. Think of all the tax payers money being spent on unreliable sensors that have to get binned! [/QUOTE]
