The last sensor that I have been in 10 days ago gives me differences with respect to blood of up to 60 that is normal.
Cristóbal Castro Martínez said:No, but that is the eternal question because some do not know it, we do not know everything is +20, that considering the reaction time that says Abbot says is about 10 minutes can be normal, but 60 is a lot, I think, consult him with Abbott and that they send you another

I don't know if these data clarify some of the differences in the controls
Do you wear 2 sensors at the same time?
The 50-60 differences is only "normal" the first day.Then they should adjust, although there are people who are never adjusted.
In my case, it always adjusts well, except if I have other programs in the mobile that access the sensor (Diabox or Juggluco).Even if I have them deactivated they continue to interfere.

On July 24, I went to collect glucose control strips (100 per month)
with which I perform 3 daily controls.The new person in charge of facilitating the
Diabetic Material of the Health Center if I do not interest sensors to avoid punctures and
It facilitates 4 boxes of strips.He tells me that now my family doctor can facilitate me
And he accompanies me to request an appointment with my doctor.
Indeed, after notifying the doctor to the ATS, he quotes me for August 5 and I leave
Your query with a free 2 plus sensor placed on the arm and another 5 to cover up to 3 months.
To clarify the situation, I must say that I have been using since October 7, 2011 using
Dexcom sensors (until 08/26/2015 with the Seven, then until 07/05/2023 with the G4 and by
last and until now with the Dexcom One).
Although I consider one of the greatest advances in the treatment of diabetes, I never noticed
fully of the sensors.I always used glucometer values as a basis, but I don't
I resisted comparing them, so I wrote down the value of the glucometer and the sensor value and I consider
that the sensor is marking well if it is within +/- 10% of the glycometer value.
On the second night with the free 2 plus and at 4 in the morning, I was deposited with the alarm of the
Free for hypoglycemia, which as you can check in the data, was not such (59 in free,
99 in the contour Next and 99 in the Dexcom One) and here my suspicions of this sensor begin.
Now I have 3 data: the glycometer values, the Dexcom One and the free 2 plus, thus
that while the sensors and the transmitter of the Dexcom last, I set out to compare them, value the
data and this time with different percentages and with the data that I show you below.
I will have to change my investment: instead of buying sensors I will have to buy strips!
At least it seems that I will get somewhat cheaper.I will value them again when free 2 plus
Acknowledges of Dexcom, but I fear that the strips will continue with me.
Leo for the forum that the free sensors 2 plus 301 measure much.Mine are all
that numbering: 301v0gt ... - 301urw1 .... - 301v0gt ..... - 301v0gt ... - 301v0gt .... - 301v0gt ....
If so, there is no right to the S.S.pay for this and certainly says very little of Abbott,
that obviously know what they sell.
Today I end the Dexcom sensors
I don't think it has anything to do with serial numbers.It would not make sense to depend on the sensor and that some were all exact (more than 50 sensors proven daily with several clinical glucometers and analysis) and others are always diverted.
I think it depends more on the phone, that the app can receive enough correct data at the moments that are self -lodging.The app seems very sensitive to any program that can interfere and then does not self -harm.And in other extreme cases, it may be less density of the interstitial fluid as Ruthbia said.

Cristóbal Castro Martínez said:I carry very little with the sensors financed by health, so I have very little with them (I used them promptly for trips or when I had an event, some roll that needed to let me know when the glucose began to fall).I always had a gap, the least than 20 and the most I accept are 30. If it happens from there I change it, or I call or do it online, but I change it.

Going number to number costs more to see the trend.
At first glance, reviewing on top, there are no big differences, but it depends on each person.

@Sherpa41 The sensors that begin by 301 carry different encapsulated software, the app is the same for everyone.
These 301 have a shielding to protect themselves from Pirates app like Diabox.I do not know if it also affects the interpretation of data.
I just collect my 6 and they are 3MH I don't know what.
In my FreeLinkup cloud I have data since 2016, I will see if I can get behavioral graphics.

I know that the app is the same, what I say (and also said chatgpt) is that this freestyle app, seems very sensitive to interference from other programs that can access the sensor.
As I counted, on 6 or 7 occasions it was uninstalling applications such as Diabox and Juggluco and finally adjusting the freeLink app correctly, after many days and badly (marked 50-70 less).After removing them they were nailed to the glucometer.
And you often speak of Freestyle's reader.I also tried it and this was not adjusted number, although the deviation was somewhat lower, it was of no use because it did not adjust after a few hours like the freestyle app.I think it is something totally outdated, it has not been selling it on their website.And surely they do not take it into account when manufacturing the new sensors.

@ Sherpa41 users with free failures and mismatches predominate with respect to those who say it conforms to your glycemic reality.And many of them do not use Diabox or another app.
We are talking about a medicine that, as you spend, you go to the other neighborhood, said right now for an oncologist who has come to see me while I am with the chemo in the aorta.(I have complained because there is a subcutaneous medication that has a long and Gooooorda needle, and it's 5 days with that needle piece)
Well that, that fail and quite but it must be clear that the exact value of glymia is sought.
In my analytics now it has given me 67 blood glucose and 67 Diabox, free in its line, Alto 90. Wednesday, 2 days ago, it was 128 in blood, Diabox without calibrating 135 and free2 152.

Let's see, we are going in parts:
First consider that I am a rookie with free and I am trying to understand how it works and adjust to the data that facilitates me.I already realized that Free presents the data every minute and Dexcom does it every 5 minutes, so that if the glucose rises, when 5 minutes pass it can reach a deviation of 30 or 40, while Dexcom seems to raise the average of 5 minutes, so that the jumps give a feeling of being softer.
Sherpa41: Do you wear 2 sensors at the same time?Yeah.When these sensors provided me, I still had 2 and the one I had two days before.
Ruthbia: Let's see if I am able to make the graphics (I think it would be 3, morning, afternoon and night), although the reason for the sheet is to take it to a doctor, which with great euphoria "sold me" the sensors to avoid the punctures, with what they avoided giving me the strips.This man never saw more than the pencil covered leaf every time I look at me with the daily controls and saw 6 daily controls and gives me the impression that he stuck watching so many numbers.I never taught this:
In that piece of leaf there are the latest data with the DEXCOM and the same comparison between the contour and the DEXCOM with the deviation of 10% and the percentage in each cycle.The first sheet that I put is the deviation in % of the sensors and with different percentages, which, with changing the number of the deviation at the top of the sheet, results in the numbers and % on the total controls.
@Ruthbia seems very bad to me that the freeLink app is so sensitive and that surely more things apart from Diabox and Juggluco spoil its operation.And on top of that they give them everyone without explaining it well.To those who are going wrong, other models should offer you (they offered me the Dexcom One and the G6)
But I, in the 50 freestyle sensors that I have used, the only two times I spent hours in hiccups and thought it was fine, it was when I used Diabox and its calibration.That has happened to me with the Freestyle alone app.Not even the first day.
And the data you give me because you have Diabox in the mobile and a very old reader.I have already told you that if I do that, I am also fatal.
@Lone no, but when the sensor does not match the glucometer, I always have another glucometer from another brand and model to check it.The glucometers have already seen that they are not very reliable.And also if you have ever calibrated the Dexcom sensor with the data of a single glucometer, it may be deviated to the same level as your glucometer.

Sorry Sherpa41.I will never doubt the glucometer or sensor.Solamente los comparo y les admito una desviación de uno con respecto al otro del 10%.If they are both inside that range they serve me perfectly.And if you can see in the ultimate cut that I put the Dexcom in 30 controls are 26 = 87% and in the second cycle 25 = 83% within that 10%, I think they are perfect.On the other hand, the Dexcom One does not allow calibrations.This data is as factory calibrated comes.There is no possibility of putting any calibration.
More data: On the first sheet are the data of three Dexcom One sensors.The first and third had as an expiration date on 05/31/25 and the second 07/31/26
@Sherpa41 My reader is old but as a capillary goes well, the endocrine has calibrated me.
And the app does not go for Bluethooth, it goes for NFC, it has no alterations in its broadcast.If you check the port frequency of the port and the HW installed, it is seen that it does not affect NFC that is a contact wave, while the Bluethoth wavelength is long with low frequency.(I am an engineer and I have worked with these things a few years ago)
I still think that it depends on our interstitial fluid and the insertion zone, there is not the same amount in arms, as buttocks or legs.
@Lone Well, if you spend the Excel, I do them without problems, and I calculate the glyc and variation.

Reading and seeing the material shared by @lone, the truth is difficult to leave the glucometer for wearing a sensor.
I have seen that in Ukraine, Russia and China, they use a new Sibionics brand new brand sensor
That is still one more than we already know.
I agree with @ruthbia that a sensor cannot have such exaggerated inaccuracy when its results may have acts consistent by the user that can be in danger of their health.
I do not think that it is an interstitial fluid issue, since the manufacturer supposedly indicates the place where it must be placed and I understand that it would be for having more liquid.
The issue of official and third -party applications that make it impossible for the correct level operation/reading of the sensor, it would seem to me somewhat reckless, although through NFC technology the connection is safe, by Bluetooth it is not so much.
The reality is that endocrine sell the sensor, but they really do not know what they sell and there is also no one to worry about showing Abbott these numbers of the shared leaves that show a lot what is far between paper and reality.
