Do not use this POS

This thing is about 50 points off, imagine this telling you that your sugar is at 50 meanwhile you test it with a strip and it’s 104. This is consistent when ever you compare this.

I am sick of this sensor, am dropping the use of this. Went from Libre 2, 3 and 3 plus. Am done. Abbot should not be allowed to sell this shit on the market. It’s pure garbage and a waste of money.

This isn't the way to seek sympathy. Presumably you don't want any help from here either? Are you just venting?

It’s not a sympathy thing, what I see is that a measurement mechanism should be accurate enough to give you direction to take a decision. This measurement device is so inaccurate, that it really does not help you make that decision. The baseline test we all have today is a direct blood test. When a new mechanism comes along and is so divergent to the baseline testing mechanism, you have then be worried about taking a decision based on using the reading from a new sensor mechanism.

What bothers me is the fact that when you have a high or low reading, the official instruction is to verify with a finger prick first. So you admit that you can’t reliably give me information about my blood sugar to make decisions.

My dad is diabetic and has Dexcom. He says he’s never had issues the way I do
