Libre2: In the end they also failed me

@RuthbiaHave you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the freestyle App to try to recover Bluetooth?(history is deleted, but not on the web)

And yes, now I no longer feel strange, in this sense, in the forum.

But it coincided with the enormous increase in the price of the strips on Amazon.With a drop in my salary and I wanted to start sports.The demon of Diabetes always knows how to choose the worst moment to screw us over.

And a question, when several fail you.Do you order them one by one on the Web or do you have to call Abbot?I think I will order 3, because I used the one that marked -50 for about 12 days and the one that deviated on the 12th, I continued using it until the end.

Tomorrow I have to change the sensor and I have to put on the last one I have left of the "normal" ones, the ones that don't start with 301

I'm a little scared because, at the moment, only about one of each box of eight they send us fails.

Starting with the 301, I don't know how the issue will go, apart from losing the comfort of not being able to view the glucose on the watch, etc...

Does anyone know if Abbott plans to do something with the new versions of sensors or will it continue to leave us stranded in the face of danger?

They are like the dog in the garden, which neither eats nor lets eat.

If they are not capable of offering calibration and support like other apps, at least stop messing around, we are risking our health.

@Sandman For the watch I use the WatchGlucose App and I am trying Juggluco

@Sherpa41 I return them all together to the nurse.

Yesterday I started the last "normal" sensor that I had left and I'm crossing my fingers because the good people at Diabox will solve the problems with the 301 sensors in the next two weeks

Today I collected 6 Abbott sensors and the nurse told me that in Madrid they won the Dexcom contest and that she likes them better.They are more reliable.

Good morning.

I have to purchase a new terminal since it is the first time that they are going to put the diabetes sensor on me and my question is if anyone has theXiaomi Redmi 15Cand the LibreLink FreeStyle application works fine on this device.

It is curious since in the list of compatible phones previous versions 12C, 13C, 14C appear but the 15C does not appear, having NFC and the Android 16 operating system, which is supposed to be what is needed for it to work.

Does the terminal have to appear on the list or do phones with the same characteristics also work?

Thank you very much for your response.

All the best.

Abbott works with any versionAndroid.

It is the NFC that limits the reading, but few phones do not work with the sensors.

Well, I add another problem, and that is that I have to scan the sensor because no data is reaching the mobile.This has happened to me on 1/2 of the last 10 sensors.

Yes, what has happened to Abbot is that it has not been able to maintain quality control while increasing production.It is quite common in a highly technological industry, with highly complex products and processes, as is the case here.

In my experience, as I said once in this forum (and it was deleted), the Libre 1 worked great and doubled, with almost no aberrant points, the glucometer readings.I made 2 comparisons, one in 2016 and one in 2018, of 2 sensors = 1 month each;I still have them there on my laptop.

Then they moved me to Libre 2 and, at the end of 2022, to G4.The Libres failed a lot, about 25% in number, so I ordered them from Abbot and they sent me a new one.But in time, they didn't fail that much, they normally lasted at least 10 days, so 10 days I won.When they gave me the first G4, I had 6 or 8 brand new Libre 2s.During 2023, I wore those sensors at the same time as the G4.It was very useful, because the G4 failed practically 90% of the time, and was out in 5 days.For example, I went on trips with the 2 positions, and that's how I managed with the Libre 2 when the G4 died.

But almost every time I observed that the Libre 2 scored very low compared to the G4.For me, a significant deviation is more than 25-30 mg/dl.Then, I checked with the glucometer, and the result was very systematic: the Libre 2 marked low and the G4 remained very close to the capillary.

I haven't used Libres again, but the G4 is still pretty accurate the times I've tested it.And the issue of failures has improved somewhat;Now out of the box of 5 many times only 1 or 2 fail.

In the Reddit forum about the 780G, I have read that the Simplera works more or less the same as the G4 and the Instinct (the Libre adapted to connect to that pump) also marks as low as the Libre 2. I don't know anything about Dexcon.

Although so many sensors are failing Bluetooth, it's not something on the mobile...

Lately they disconnect a lot.

I turn off Bluetooth and the mobile, when I restart it reconnects.

I have 3 Abbotts left and I'm switching to Dexcom.
