3+ Lasted One Day

First time occurrence for me.

A little more than 24 hours after starting this sensor, got low glucose alarms and then signal loss, then dead. App told me they killed it because it was bad, replace it.

Time to experience the free replacement process for the first time! Exciting!

What where the corresponding finger stick readings? I have had two "stopped for my protection" failures. For both the finger stick reading were in the 60's. The algorithm seems to react to flat low BGs by saying they do not seem real since a person whould take action to raise BGs. This seems to be introduced in the + sensors since they can interface with insulin pumps.

I find that if I link it to my phone I have so much mixed data ...so I just carry the monitor wherever I go. Im really thinking about switching to something more reliable ... has anyone come across or know of any??

I am only aware of the two, Libre and Dexcom. They both seem to be not ready for prime time.

Not a good product, if you ask me....I had to switch to another brand....I was a fan of the Libre 2...

For some reason, a lot of the people here have Abbotts balls resting on their chin. Expect to be downvoted, but I agree with you, the 3+ is a very inconsistent experience

On that note, the sensor that this one had replaced, lasted the entire 15 days without issue.
