Awful Product
I have used these for the last four years and consistently have problems. The filament either goes sideways, the adhesive gives out within a day or two and the monitoring is constantly going off-line, once resulting in a hospital stay as I could not monitor a low glucose episode. I would strongly recommend trying something else. I really hope they get their act together because this is a very necessary product!

Compatibility issue
Please make the app compatible with iOS 26.6. Otherwise I can’t use my sensor
6 years and still no Apple Health integration
What the Heck Abbott?
You’ve been selling a doicky 70$+ that last 14 days and you’ve still not figured how to integrate the data, transferred via Bluetooth to my phone to Apple Health?
Most basic glucose monitoring apps are able to do so and you’re telling me that Abbott, a global medical consortium can’t negotiate a protocol with Apple? That’s just lazy.

Accurate Readings, But critical safety grip.
The new Libre 3 device looks identical to its predecessor, and on the surface, that's where the similarities end in a good way — the reader app tracks and analyzes blood glucose levels accurately and consistently. Data logging and trend analysis work well.
However, there's a critical flaw: the high and low glucose alerts are not functioning reliably. This isn't a minor bug — real-time notifications are the entire point of a Libre 3 Without them, users lose the early warning system needed to catch dangerous highs or lows before they become emergencies, undermining the core purpose of the device for daily diabetes management.
Accurate data with no working alerts is like a smoke detector that logs smoke levels but never sounds an alarm. The manufacturer needs to treat this as a priority fix, not a footnote — and until it's resolved, this device can't be fully trusted for safe, independent glucose management.
Solid sensor technology let down by a critical safety gap. Fix the alerts, and this could be a strong product.

Not accurate
I tried 2 of these on the advice of the pharmacist at my diabetes clinic. I didn’t do a finger prick the whole time I was wearing it, therefore I don’t know if it was accurate the first time I used it. The second one I tried was way off of my actual bs. Within minutes of it syncing I got a low bs alert, so I did the finger prick and my actual bs was high. I didn’t get one accurate reading while using the second one.
I’m going to try the dexcom g7 now. Let’s hope that one is more accurate.
