Has anyone else had problems with their Libre 3 losing signal. I've had 3 in a row fail due to signal loss.
Abbotts have sent me replacements but that isn't the point. The whole reason I'm on the 3 is that I have Hypos overnight and need CGM. I never had this problem with the Libre2. I'm wondering if they've made it smaller, so smaller battery, so, doesn't function so well. Any Ideas??

Welcome to the forum. I hope somebody replies with some suggestions but not many people seem to have the Libre 3.
 
If the Libre 3 doesn't work for you
Then ask them to prescribe the Libre 2...

But more importantly, the matter of having hypos overnight obviously needs to be addressed.

[In passing I note that both the Libre 2 and 3 are going to be upgraded in the (near?) future with so-called "Plus" versions, which might solve some of the problems that users are encountering - but of course there are no guarantees...]

If Libre 3 doesn't work for you ask then to prescribe the Dexcom G7.
 
On the odd occasion that my libre loses its signal, I find scanning it usually sorts it out, but if that fails a full restart on the phone solves the issue
