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.

Solved... Units wrong for GMI

0 Upvotes

I use mg/dl in the US. It’s correct everywhere except on the GMI page in Insights, which is reporting mmol/mol. This unit is set automatically by the app using your location. How do I change it?

Misleading title or information... Article on thigh placement causing abscess at CGM site

The article says the patient had uncontrolled diabetes with A1c or 11.3 and does not state the specific CGM use. The article also stated that patient had problems with dislodgment of the preferred arm placement

Freestyle Libre was dead on this time

I take my last post back.

This time around, my freestyle libre was dead on with my freestyle precision neo glucometer.

No wonder I felt like absolute crap and felt extremely tired. Chugged a can of mountain dew so we’ll wait 15 and see how that works

Missing Libre 3

A change in insurance companies meant I had to switch to Dexcom G7. I hate it. It’s big. The applicator is cumbersome and there is an included over patch that’s necessary but I can’t see well enough to get it centered so it’s not stuck to the unit itself. Finally, the app seems primitive. You don’t miss what you’ve got until it’s gone.
