[Diabetes-Talk] Returning List Member with Libre Question

[Lisa Belville]

Hi, all.


I was on this list until sometime early last year.  I think the NFB was 
having server troubles and I somehow got removed from the list by 
accident. Happily, I finally got myself resubscribed.


I'm wondering if anyone has had issues over the past few months with 
Libre 3 Plus sensors reading extremely low?  My last sensor was off by 
over 40 points.  I was getting constant false low glucose alarms I 
tested and verified my sugar wasn't that low.  I got about a week into 
the new sensor and got so frustrated I replaced it with another one.  
This one is also reading lower than usual, but it's not off as much.  I 
use an on line pharmacy and I'm afraid something is off with this whole 
batch of sensors.


I've gone through the process of contacting Libre tech support and being 
sent a new sensor.  It's frustrating and time consuming, and I don't 
feel like it really makes a difference.


My sister is also a Type II and had had the same problems.  We get our 
sensors from two different pharmacies.


Should I start the process to switch to Dexcom?  I realize no system is 
perfect, but it seems like the Libre product has really gone downhill 
since I switched to the updated 3 Plus.


Any thoughts welcome.


Lisa
