Guys I've been on the libre fr about 2 years now and the odd one plays up but last week but the last one has been waaaaaay out 16 when it figure tested it was a 7 always 3mml above a figure prick even if BGL is in range ans stable etc, so yesterday I too that one off a week early and swapped for a new one and again it's similar 3-4mml out in regular BGL readings, the one thing I did notice is that when the last two went in there was a slight tug whilst pulling away the applicator which never really happened before on the reliable ones/ May be a defective batch? They are both still date.
Two Conscucutive Libre Sensors Not Running Rght
- Thread starter O_DP_T1
- Start Date
I have just had a Libre fail (only the 2nd one I have worn) on me so contacted Abbotts and they are replacing it
I was told that they are not as acurate as finger pricks as they lag behind the bloods by 5-10 minutes, guess it is because they are not directily in to the blood stream, so I would expect the Libre to be out. from the bloods
Guess, phone their support and ask about it see if they do have defective batches.

Was just about to do that, thing is it's pain because it's knocks all the tine in target figures etc out which really annoys me.

It is quite possibly a defective batch but regardless they will replace any faulty/defective sensors, their customer service team is excellent at replacing, it's an inconvenience but will get sorted.

Just had a dodgy sensor replaced. Reported it Thursday, new one arrived Monday. That is a huge improvement on their usual replacement delivery times. Always have a spare one anyway and my chemist has them on the shelf.
However decided to take a break as 6 months in I have definitely started with an allergy. The itching is horrendous! The marks after are still there from 2 months ago. Not a good look for summer clothing. Funny thing is I have been so much more relaxed about eating and testing using just my BGM. And ironically my control seems better. There is no obsession to keep that line straight.
