R.I.P CGM!

I hate it when my libres do that. Even after checking with a fingerprick and finding that my cgm is well off, its unnerving - the temptation to eat everything in the house til it comes back into range on the app is :oops:

I’ve used a G6 but not the one..

Personally no problem with the libre but if it does drop out it’s never seemed to fail me reconnecting & alarm when I’m actually low or during a pressure low?

Funny enough, I have had a G6 drop out but I had it reconnect when I pushed the transmitter section back onto the probe bit? (Completing the electrical circuit on the PCB.)

How is your sensor compare with the meter now? (Assuming you are still running since the screenshot?)

Edit; forgot to ask. Where do you have your sensor placed?

I hated libre full stop! I had nothing but trouble with it! Constant signal loss and I didn’t like that you have to constantly scan with your phone to get readings.

Seems to have sorted itself for now fingers crossed!

I’ve done a bit of random looking up on this stuff.. (waiting to be blown out the water by someone more knowledgable.)
But Bluetooth & WiFi are on a similar close bandwidth. (In short.)
Lol, I’m pretty sure that any dropouts could be from neighbour’s BT/wifi or even within the household?
Years ago before BT Libres (Libre 1.) I used an aftermarket “bridge” to an app on my phone. NFC scans the sensor & bluetooths to my phone.
A lot of modern cars have BT too. My wife’s car included. Though I’m not connected.
It used to cut out when I hit my local Sainsbury’s car park.. a lot better now..

I agree. I’m still using it but find that about 30-49% of them fail. I keep getting told that my phone operating system isn’t compatible because I’ve updated with the latest version. (iPhone 14 pro). Ridiculous if they’re saying you have to run old operating systems.
I phone up and get new sensors sent out. Which is fine but I want to be able to rely on them.
 
I wear a Libre 2. I had constant problems with signal loss. It was like the days when you had to scan to get a reading, it was that bad. At the time I had an iphone 11, fully updated with the latest version of ios. I have since bought a 1phone 16 pro ( the battery was going on my 11) so I had to get a new phone. Since purchasing my 16 Pro I have had very few problems with signal loss.

I’ve got the IPhone 16 Pro Max. The only problem I seem to have is when I update to the latest iOS when I click on the Dexcom app I constantly get a WARNING message pop up telling me that Dexcom are still testing the Dexcom ONE+ on my phone. Which is rather annoying!
