[Diabetes-Talk] Returning List Member with Libre Question

[Jeanette Kutash]

Lisa, the product has not gone down hill since upgrading and Libre acknowledged a problem with certain batches of censors. I do think you probably never saw the emails from Abbott discussing the issue. Perhaps if you were on their mailing list in future if a problem arose you would be better informed and better able to get issues resolved.

good afternoon, Lisa, I did have this issue about six months ago, but I replaced the sensor, and I’ve not had that issue since around December. I would definitely check with Abbott, and see if you can get a replacement sensor. Thanks.

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.
