Sensors Don’t Work

I can’t get sensors to work after the last update two days ago. 375 minute wait on the chat.

Alarms need to be customizable

Today I have had continuous lows and the freaking alarm going off. I ate, finger poke and it kept saying 53. I know if I am that low I have intense headaches. Not a single headache. Did a finger poke just 10 minutes ago and it was at 99. So a 46 point difference and I can’t wear my earbuds since I need Bluetooth and if I turn off Bluetooth so I don’t get the alarms I can’t listen to my study material.

Signal loss

Is losing signal a common occurrence? I haven’t had a signal for at least 3 hours and counting and kept on hold when I called the number supplied for support. I’m a new user of maybe a couple of months and have enjoyed the system but for this issue. I haven’t internet and all my Bluetooth devices are working.

Alarm problems

I cannot adjust the alarm, I cannot adjust the tune, it goes off in times unexpectedly and it’s embarrassing

Sensor

One in five of them work you call with 4 bad ones and get 1 in the mail if you’re lucky. Reads wrong a lot especially for low alarms but I can say compared to the 2 that would never stay stuck to you an improvement there

So inaccurate

I like being able to see an APPROXIMATE blood glucose reading. It is always off by at least 20 and as much as 50!

Type 1 diabetes

This product is the bane of my existence. The beeping is annoying, and it never reads an accurate blood sugar since I’m a type 1 diabetic. I get extremely low blood sugars and extremely high blood sugars. There’s never a middle. This sensor beeps all day and all night. It’s so annoying.

Update

Okay, I did the update this evening and now my sensor has stopped working. What gives????

Works great, quite accurate

Numbers were almost exact from what I got from A1C test at doctors office. Love it

It’s getting better all the time

I had erroneous readings six months ago. But Abbott replaced my sensors, evidently a bad batch, and now I find the readings extremely accurate.

I may be missing something but I really wish I could look at a trend graph over a week’s period of time and not just a day.

Hmmmmm….

Works great when it working great. So far in the past four months I’ve had four bad buttons. Waking me up with low sugar readings that were wrong readings. Glad I’m not on a needle or I’d probably be dead without cross checking the thing. Prayers to all….

Signal Loss

My Libre 3 constantly has Signal Loss issues, constantly falls out of my arm, never accurate and alarms are extremely loud! I used to love the Libre but having way too many issues with it anymore. Getting frustrated with it.

New improved blood sugar knowledge

Relieved to now realize what goes in my stomach is revealed by relative fluctuations of my blood sugar levels

Disappointed.

I have lost 5 sensors for coming off of my arm in a year. I’ve been told to put a waterproof patch over it but the patch peels my skin off. I rely on this thing and have to have labs frequently. Without fail, the sensor is always 15-20 points off from my lab result. Disappointing when you are working hard with hour Endo to get it right.

Incredibly in

Purchased a old-fashioned stick your finger monitor to confirm. Have to turn my phone off at night so the sensors don’t continually go off. Hate this thing.

Aliens communicate through the sensors 🛸

They make the alarms go off for a lot of false lows.

Update

One of your security updates loaded on my iPhone and now my sensor is not working and I get a server error!!

Terrible, buy the reader instead

App is consistently going off saying I’m low, after multiple finger sticks and countless hours of lost sleep my doctor finally wrote a script for the reader because the app was off 10-40 points off. This app should be taken down and fixed before offered to anyone before it hurts someone.

High Failure Rate

Sensor Malfunctions if your job makes you sweat. Sweating alone makes the sensor malfunction in the first day.

Sensor stopped after 7 days.

Sensor often looses connection. At the end of 7 days, sensor error came up. I thought, it would connect at some point. Never worked and had to remove the sensor. Very disappointing.
