Hello, I started using the Libre 2 last week. Was really keen to monitor my BG while out running, but the sensor won't provide readings because the temperature is too low. On Saturday it was around 5C and snowing at one point, but yesterday was 11C and still a problem, admittedly several heavy rain showers which dropped the local temperature a little. I run in a short sleeved top whatever the weather, so the sensor is exposed to the air.
Is this normal for the Libre, or do I have a dodgy one? Apart from the cold shutdowns it seems to be working fine, and readings are close to my GlucoRx meter.
I've found straps and patches that protect the Libre from physical shock in contact sports and prolonged immersion, but not found anything that would protect from wind chill or insulate from low ambient temperatures. Does such a thing exist?
Thanks!
Ian
