Dodgy Libre sensor grrr

[Ljc]

If it doesn’t pull it’s little cotton socks up tomorrow I will be onto Abbott as it’s a flipping fibber
It started out reading 3.0 lower than a finger bodge, now look at what it’s doing. I haven’t done another finger prick as I know I am fine

I had one that did that! Never hauled itself out of the 3s, the lazy toad. Abbott reckoned the sensor filament had got kinked on entry, and not inserted properly. (Didn’t think my arm was that tough, but there you go)

I will be phoning Abbott later. I have never had one as bad as this before.

Indeed. When I spoke to Abbott about mine, the guy on the other end of the phone said 'and if your levels really were down there, you wouldn’t be speaking to me coherently would you…'

Sorry but that did make me laugh.

Very true though.

@Robin I'm with @Ljc that really did make me laugh! 🙂

Sorry to see you've got such a faulty sensor, hopefully you won't have too long to wait for a replacement, think both of my recent replacements took 5 days xx

My replacement a couple of weeks ago took a week to come.

The response from Abbott made me chuckle as well @Robin. Then I thought, isn't it good to know they have proper sensible people on their help line rather than somebody off the street reading from a script!
