Scanning the sensor to obtain glucose levels does not require lancets. A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the system or when symptoms do not match the system readings.

I would never have upgraded from the prior model if I understood this limitation. And it has been out since July — this is November — when the heck will the FDA approval on the app be received?
Hi all, Just to clarify. Thanks in advance. Yes, as long as the reader is within 20 feet of your sensor. It will notify me when my BG is approaching my alarm target settings and is within a few points away depending on the rate of the drop or rise. Once the alarm goes off, I just scan my sensor go get the reading.
Just picked up three sensors and applied one to my husbands arm. The sensor will not scan. We have the Libra 2 scanner and the pharmacist gave us the libre 14 day supply. Do we need different sensors or can you tell me how to get it to work? Very important to clean the skin thoroughly with the wipes provided, people who regularly swim with them on have no problems, however you can purchase special extra stickers to really make sure. I have used these for over 2yeara and never had ant come off yet.
Suggest you really take care cleaning the spot AND waiting until it dries before application. Each sensor is issued with two sealed alcohol wipes. I use both sides of one and open it at the fold to present two more sides. Then the second wipe is used in the same way. This gives you 8 passages to be sure the area is thoroughly free of skin oils. Since I started using this method, I have had not had a single one to pop off. Not sure on the security controls but you can check with the company directly.
Any feedback, I have the 14 day sensor using Pohne App. Of last 2 months, I get sensor errors all the time. I go some days without readings. Anyone else having similar problems. When will the app for Android be available for Libre 2? Getting tired of having to wear clothes with pockets to carry the reader around. I will switch to Dexcom soon if that device has software and an app.
I was have been using the FreeStyle libre for over 3 months now. I have been paying out of pocket. Today I placed my sensor in and it states that is not compatible. I noticed that the box said 2.
It would have been great to have an app updated or something to make it easier. Is there any way I can a replacement for the one I wasted my money on that is not compatible with the current app? I stopped using Libre Sensor 1 when i got inaccurate readings , the sensor said sugar lvl was 7 and the finger prick later revealed my actual suagr level to be 3 … for myself as a driver is the difference between losing my licence and keeping it , possibly killing myself and others.
I sincerely understand your concerns. Abbott is well aware of inaccuracies with their Libre sensor, and according to their recent publications, they have improved the accuracy. You also could try a different CGM with alerts and alarms. For the last 75 sensors, I have all the sensor specs including Code, Serial Number, Lot Number, Date to expire, with the first and last date of use.
I am in the process of changing over to the new sensor and will continue to look for improvement. I am now generating a graph for each sensor to compare its scanning value with test strip reading. Some sensors are surprising accurate for the two weeks. Many are incredibly poor. I can go back and generate graphs for the old ones. Maybe now they will listen to me when I try to tell them that there are real accuracy problems and not just the 15 minute difference between sensor and blood readings.
I have used 90 sensors so far with few problems however I would never rely on the sensor readings. I check each one with a test-strip and finger prick. Readings can be drastically different. IT will be interesting to see if the accuracy improves. Then why bother with a Libre sensor, you may as well stick to the old fashioned and very inconvenient finger pricking.
I take it that you have not been using sensors very long. There are benefits that weigh against the inaccuracy problem. When the app becomes available, will I still use the reader? If I do not get the 2 before the app is available, will I still be able to start with the reader? Will I have to use an app or phone? Can the readings go directly to my computer? My phone is doing some rather stupid tricks lately. When the app becomes available, you will not need the reader…your cell phone will become your reader.
If you get the FreeStyle Libre 2 before the app is available, you can just use the reader. So my husband started using the Freestyle Libre last Sunday and 6 days later the sensor said it needed to be replaced.
We replaced it and used his iPhone to scan after we put the sensor on. Not sure why this happened. I did the same thing once the first years I used the Libre: scanned new sensor with phone before scanning it with the meter. They basically said I was out of luck and just be sure not to start the sensor in the wrong order next time.
I had to unexpectedly change out my sensor today, when the old one came loose while I was visiting friends, and all I had to activate the new sensor always keep a spare one in the car was my phone. I just found out that Libre 1 is the one with the application. Libre 2 uses only the reader. I just got off the phone with Abbot and they verified this. Freestyle Libre 2. I would suggest that you call the customer support line at Abbott to find out what could be the problem with those inaccurate numbers.
Hang in there and let us know what they say. The customer service team is very nice and they try to help. They replace the sensor at no cost. The sensor I attached yesterday did not work at all. So again, they are sending me a new sensor. I agree on the first account. At least there should be a settable time-out. We got along without the limit alarms all along.
