freestyle libre 2

Hi, I am using Freestyle Libre 2 sensors. Can anyone advise what to do at airport security please? I asked Abbot but the answer I got was a little confusing. I recently went to the NEC and they asked me to go around the gate. So my questions are… 1. Should I avoid going through the scanner gate...

Hi everyone, Quick timeline and intro to me :) - Pre Diabetic Nov 2022 (HbA1c 47) - Diabetic type 2 May 2023 (HbA1c 104) - 8-12ml of Lantus, x4 Metform a day and 14mg RYBELSUS (semaglutide) - July HbA1c 70 - HbA1c last month was 29, so taken off Lantus and given Freestyle Libre 2 as of last...

Hi, I was diagnosed pre-diabetic in 2016 and ever since my blood glucose reading have been climbing. I have always been slim and so I tend to fool myself that I can get away with carb-rich treats. I had a second spine injury and did no exercise for 10 months until 2nd surgery in February 2023...

Hi all, I have to take a libre patch with me to put on when I'm away on holiday. Does anyone know if this has to go in hand luggage or hold luggage? Thanks in advance

I received the Libre 2 sensor from NHS for the first time yesterday but I am really concerned. Firstly, I acknowledged that it is normal about the difference between Sensor Glucose (Interstitial fluid) and Blood Glucose, according to Abbot website and manual instruction. However, I didn't...

hello! I’m about 2 months into my Type 2 journey. Seeking to control with food intake changes alone. My HBA1C at diagnosis were 51 and 49 two weeks later. Having being finger pricking 7 times a day (before meal/2hrs after + bedtime) I finally got the confidence to try a freestyle libre. I’m one...

Apologies if I should be putting this somewhere else. I’ve been a type 1 for about 30 years and I’m currently self funding Libre 2 sensors and have done for the last 2 years. For me this is a game changer. How do I go about having these prescribed to me by my GP so I don’t have to self fund...

Hi I'm female, in my late 60s and have been diabetic - type 2 - for about 10 years now. I'm insulin dependent and use Novorapid and Lantus. Am overweight, can't seem to shift it. I have a diabetic friend in Scotland who has recently been prescribed the Freestyle Libre 2 and really likes it...

Hi all Mother if T1 here, diagnosed when he was 25. He got L2 which he started on Friday but its going off a lot at night as he 'seems' to be running too low. He's getting pretty fed up with it and last night compared by doing some finger prick tests to check. Eg Libre said 3.3 but BG said...

Hi all I’m new to the site and have a question regarding the Libre 2 sensor which I have just been offered. I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. Can you use the reader and the phone app at the same time or is it one device (reader or app) per a sensor. I can’t find it but I’m sure I read...

Hi, New user of Libre 2 sensor. Does anyone know when the alarm sounds outside the set boundary, will it sound a 2nd alarm if your blood sugar stays beyond that boundary for a length of time? Or is the alarm only triggered again if your blood sugar moves back inside the boundary then out...

Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well. I am thinking of getting the freestyle libre 2 kit. Apparently it is only water-resistant for upto 30 mins when swimming. Does anyone know if this is an absolute time limit? On those occasions when I do swim I am usually in the pool for longer than...

I just called Abbott for an update on the release of the Libre 2, but they said they have no information on the Libre 2 or its release.... So I then asked, if you don't; do you know anyone who does? LOL They did however say its currently on sale in Germany. There is a useful video I found on...
