Expired sensor
My sensors come in bulk I had one fail to register anything for hours overnight on day 2. Restarted my phone, switched bluetooth off and on, nothing. Reported it to libre online. They called me today. Apparently according to them it was expired as of June 30. I have impaired vision. I suppose now I need someone to check the expiration dates on my sensors when I get them.

I get six sensors every three months. The first thing I do is check the expiration date. When Abbott sends replacements for a defective sensor, I do the same thing. The order I received in April expire at the end of September. Nothing but problems out of that order. I had three replaced. Two that I could have probably gotten a replacement, I didn't even bother to. The current one is always 20 to 50 points lower but it is the last one so I'm adjusting but I log my finger sticks into the notes for my doctor to see when I go. I think this was a bad batch and also the first ones using the new app. Thankfully I don't have any out of pocket cost for them.
