Free2 erratic values ​​after a shower or when the sun is given in the sensor

Good chic@s,

Since I use Diabox with free2 I have been observing from the last 3 sensors that there is an anomaly that is repeated ...

-For a shower
-Conducing and that the sun in your arm even if you have clothes on ...

There is a pattern that is repeated ...... The sensor begins to mark a very acute down .... and after passing 10min of the shower or ...In the shadow ... the sensor gives again correct values ​​...

It is so rare ... that even in the graph ... where when reading a chopped drop ... when returning to the normal value this value of the graph disappears.

I would like to know if it happens to you too and if there is any way or someone knows how to correct these situations because a shower is worth ... but now on the street that begins to raise temperatures and be with values ​​like this ... It is crazy.

I have called Abbot and the answer is ... the sensor works correctly between 10º-45º if your sensor is doing that ... Check with hair values ​​and there is discrepancy because the sensor will be defective but the grace is thatThis takes me minimum 3 sensors back, since I have been observing it to analyze whether this anomalous pattern became routine.

What do you think?

I can tell you that you can expect anything from the FSL sensors.Tonight an alarm woke me up at 1:30, I went to scan and told me exhausted sensor, when they had 7 days of life.I had to put another and wait until 2:30 for the warming period.

Strange events with the figures have also had a thousand.

Anyway, what can I tell you ...

@marine

You could look, if you can, how much that anomaly occurs, make a normal reading with the mobile or with the free reader and see what it tells you.To know if the problem is in Diabox.You may not have the free and read -reading algorithm "without adjusting."It is to rule out something.
The sun/heat greatly affects the sensor, but I don't understand the shower.Except that you use very hot water.
I can't think of anything else, really

@jldiazdel

That was the first thing I tried to rule out is more because of the Diabox calibration, it throws a more approximate value than in the official app that exaggerates it even more.

I have also asked about other Facebook groups and I am not the only one that happens so garlic and water ...

It has never happened to me but it is also true that I must be one of the few that, as a general rule, almost all the sensors have come good for me.
The only time the sensor caught the heat was because it was in Mexico more than 40º and put something like the sensor was very hot.After a while he returned to his being.
All the best.

@nigiri for taking some feedback,

Do you use Free's own reader?or the mobile?
Do you use extra official app such as diabox or xDrip?

In case of being with mobile, what model?

Thank you

To me with the freestyle after the shower gives me higher values.But 5 minutes later it is stabilized.
At night it gives me false hypos, which I have read that it is when sleeping on it (I sleep from side and I can't change that).I get up and in 5 minutes it returns to normal.
I started using it in January so I don't know how it will go in summer ...

The shower also happens to me !!
But like @isabelbota, it gives me higher values

@marine use only the reader himself.I tried the mobile app with the mobile app and I had to pass the mobile minimum twice to give me the reading and the alarms did not work for me.

@nigiri because the same is the question ... as managed by the app or the physical reader ..

Thank you!

@Marine has left me: very hot sensor, wait 10 min and very cold sensor wait 10 min.With water I have not had any effect on the 5 years that I have been using.
I was in the sun with a black swimsuit sunbathing in the sensor area an approx hour and that of cold on the bike this winter, as I carry in the buttock, despite the mesh, the body is cold by the air.

The correct measures always.I have waited for him to recover and give the value where I leave it.
Leo with FreeLink and Diabox mobile, and free glucometer 1. All fine in both cases.

That yes, bad ones have come out.Now I have a new one because the previous one sold out 3 days before its expiration.As other times, it began to measure between 45-70 maximum being at 170 or less, and 24 hours you get the sensor message does not work, replace it.
