Anyone struggling with the libre 2 losing signal, even when the reader is still in your pocket where its been all day?? Not a huge issue during the day, but the loss of signal alarm going off during the night is starting to wear thin! Anyone else?
 
I believe the battery gets very drained on the reader by the blue tooth connection (or whatever the connection system is between the reader and the sensor.... technophobe here!!) so just wondering if it is losing connection because it no longer has enough power to maintain the connection.

I've switched off the signal loss alarm now so hoping this will lengthen battery life too. Currently having to charge it every day, which for a new device seems excessive

Still go off, said few weeks ago that low bg alarm went off in living room whilst I was in front garden, wife let me know & when come back in sure enough bg was going low with downward arrow.

Thanks, have just done this. Does this make the battery life better as we're currently having to charge it every day

Don't have to charge mine everyday, battery can last 2-3 days, depends on use. Just make sure to close app after you scan, don't leave it open as that might drain battery.

# Just realised your talking about reader not phone Titchvic, my bad.

My signal loss alarm hardly ever went off. It might be worth contacting Abbott to ask them if this is the expected behaviour, or if your reader might have a glitch?
