sensor

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, I am due a pump upgrade and my nurse wants to put me forward for a hybrid closed-loop system. I am 90% sure I want to go with the Ypsomed pump with CamAPS FX for my next pump. The funding for this would include: - the insulin pump - the consumables e.g. infusion sets - the CamAPS...

hi everyone, i’m not sure how this works as i’m new here lol but i’m needing some advice. i’m currently on the medtronic 780g with guardian 4 sensor. everything was fine since i started but ever since being in smartguard, the sensor will suddenly disconnect and will just show “- - -“ on my pump...

Hi there Has anyone ever had an issue with bleeding through their sensor? I’ve had the Libre now for almost 10 months so I guess I must have used about 20 sensors and never experienced this. Tonight I applied my sensor as usual and the amount of blood that came out of the top shocked me - it was...

Hi there, Was wondering if anyone can help- I recently called my diabetes team to ask about the freestyle libre 2 ( I am on Libre 1) due to me measuring over 24 times a day due to my job, hypo symptoms starting readings lower than 6 and so on. The nurse asked why and who even approved my...

Hi. I am a Type 1 diabetic and have been for around 22 years. I have recently gone onto the Libre 2 system, but wasn't a fan of the alarm signals, so I made my own and I'm sharing them with you to use on your device/phone. I tried to attach to this message but the forum does not allow. THE...

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...

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...

Hi I started using this a week ago, but have had to remove it as it was causing great irritation and discomfort to my arm. Have any other users had this problem? thanks

Has anyone else kept a track of the failure rate of the sensor? I have just started with the system. A 'trial' where I was issued a reader and one sensor, at the hospital but by a company rep. Clearly not a trial in the true sense of the word. More a marketing ploy to create demand. Although...

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...

I just started using the freestyle libre meter and sensors- but I go on holiday soon and realise they can only be in the water for 30 minutes at a time. Has anyone found a way of covering/waterproofing the sensor when in the water so you can swim for longer?
