[QUOTE="Chris D, post: 2703810, member: 589108"] I have used the Libre 2 for 4 sensors now, so 2 months. Very happy with them. Yesterday I tried the Libre 2 PLUS sensor as it would appear to be an updated model. It also does 15 days rather than 14. I woke (normally) this morning with a reading of 3.9 which over then next half hour dropped to 2.9. Obviously I finger pricked the moment I saw the reading, and got a 5.6 reading. I did a 2nd finger prick at 2.9 and still had a 5.6 reading. This is my first 24 hours using the L2PLUS and I have already totally lost faith in it. Its been massively low reading all day and I am now showing 3.1 on the reader and prick tests show me consistently at 5.8. I will contact Abbott tomorrow and see what they suggest. I bought 4 of the L2PLUS and now wish I had stayed on the old ones. Anyone else used the PLUS version? Should I remove the current sensor and try a new one? I pay for them myself and dont want to waste £50 if Abbot wont refund it because I "took it off". [/QUOTE]
