Does anyone here use Libre 3? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I currently self-fund Dexcom G7 because Libre 2 and Dexcom ONE don’t meet my requirements as a T1. My consultant has just offered me Libre 3 on prescription. On paper, it appears to function in exactly the same way as Dexcom G7...

Hi Everyone, I've just performed a LO & HI control solution test on my FS Libre reader using the Optium test strips. The manual mentions checking the foil packaging for the normal ranges, although there are no ranges printed anywhere on the foil. Only the result appeared as well on screen...

Hi everyone. Ive just started using the Freestyle Libre sensor and am a little worried about numbers. As I've not be able to go into my Diabetic Clinic due to COVID, Ive had to set it up myself using the online tutorials, and suck it and see. I've put my target setting at 4.5 to 8.9 mmols and...

Hi all, As indicated above, this is an extremely geeky query about how Libres calculate the Time in Target percentage. Apologies to anyone who falls asleep reading it. Question really is how does it handle the time period when calculating the percentage over the last 7 days. Yesterday...

The company behind a blood sugar monitor that has changed the lives of thousands of diabetics has been forced to apologise after supplies ran short. Pharmacies have been turning patients away as deliveries of healthcare firm Abbott's Freestyle Libre Sensor are delayed by two or three weeks...

Hi all :) I'm new to the forums (not sure if im doing it right), i'll give it a bash! I've recently been given a freestyle libre kit (been T1 for 20 years), I've started it up with the app on my phone (iPhone XS - which is compatible) but ive gone to check it on the Libre reader and its...

I am sure I have read somewhere about Freestyle Libre shortages because of manufacturing issues, and I have been waiting nearly 2 weeks for my prescription to be filled, but I haven't seen anything on this forum site nor anything on the Diabetes uk site. Has anyone else had an issue getting theirs?

Hi all. Lewis Jones, 27, diagnosed 2002. 6 month Libre funding trail is coming to an end and I need to download my data to send over to the diabetes nurse. Has anyone had issues with this? The Freestyle Libre app doesn't seem to have any option to export data. LibreLink has almost no options at...

As the title says, basically. Got my Libre 3 weeks ago and to be honest I found it overwhelming. The first morning I woke and scanned only to discover that I'd been low the whole time I'd been asleep, which then led to some drastic adjustment of basal doses and a recalculation of my bolus ratio...

Hi guys, I’m such a forum noob, and yet this is my second post within 48 hours! Basically, I got a Libre sensor fitted two days ago and all seemed to be fine. Until yesterday morning I got a bath and it started giving ‘HI’ readings where the graph showed my BG was 30+. In a panic I got out my...

Hi everyone, my partner does a lot of wild swimming....yes even in winter!!! We have sorted out the extra waterproofing as a ‘just in case’ using the tegaderm but we were just after some hints for getting the wetsuit on and off without dislodging the Freestyle Libre sensor which has just been...

Whilst researching the complex regulations regarding the personal importation of drugs and medicines into the UAE (for which there are extreme penalties) I was surprised to discover that the Freestyle Blood Glucose Monitoring System is No. 71 on the list of unauthorized medicines. I simply...

I finally got an answer to my email to Freestyle Abbott I sent last month about upgrading my Freestyle mini meter I’ve been using for 10+ years, maybe even as long as 15?! :rolleyes: I’d forgotten about it & was surprised by their email yesterday. They were happy to send me a free meter upon...

Hello to fellow libre users, I have a really big favour to ask and wonder if anyone would be willing to help me. I have been self-funding the libre for a long while now but to my horror have found there is a two week delay on sensors (presumably because of them being made available on...

My diabetes team recently gave me the option of a libre machine for free with a free sensor and I love it! However, when it came to putting the second sensor on (my nurse did the first) it didn't stay for more that a few days. I think I may have done a couple of things wrong but would love...
