Anyone else having reliability issues with Libre 2 sensors.

After a few unsuccessful

Well, I had 3 Libre 3+ sensors fail in the past 2 weeks. Like you, 2 just today. One was a replacement I just received that failed about 15 minutes after applying it.

I contact their chat line to express concern about the number of failures and the response was like I applied the sensor to my fingernail. I assured them I'd been using the sensors for a year now, knew how to apply them, and was shocked at what appeared to be a major quality control issue.

I have been on the phone with them twice today. I put on the last one in my batch insurance covered and it failed (second one in that batch). So to patch myself over till the replacement arrives I purchased one out of pocket, applied it and it failed. I will get 2 replacements in 3-4 business days (holiday this week) Can’t afford to purchase another one out of pocket and insurance won’t cover more for a week and a half. So I’m going to spend a week with my monitors. I am more than a little pissed off. Hopefully they get their $#!t together.

Time to dust off the ol' blood glucose monitor!

I always check my blood glucose twice-a-day anyways, so I have a natural backup. I use the CGM 'cause I'm a data-junkie!
