Sensors Reading errors

I would like to know if someone has happened to the Freestyle 2 sensors stop working in 5 or 6 days and, the worst, the readings are 50, 60 and up to 100 units less than the capillary, which makes it very difficult to carry out a follow -up.

I have been using sensors for years, almost from the beginning of its commercialization in Spain and this last year is being desperate.

Neither endocrine, nor allergologists, nor nurses, nor the Abbot company give me an explanation.

Thank you and I wait for your comments.

I have returned 4 in 2 weeks.We are going to restart, let's not work, score 60 minutes and tell you that it is not worth it, that you change it, thus 2 in a row and the last day 2 to start.

I don't know, it goes for seasons.

As you get a lot of bad sensors, it is hell.

It has happened to me and calling Abott's customer service number send me a new one and I send the defective.So I take off that same day the defective and try a new one.It is a bit lottery although in general they are going well.

Right now I carry one that does not make continuous readings, but I have to scan manually, so the alarms do not work.They just told me that it can be because the last update of iOS (use iPhone) has not been verified with freestyle and do not know if it will work well.Does anyone know anything about this?

I think my problem is not the app since I do not believe that all one year sensors are wrong and, they change them, but I still know what value is correct since there are very large variations.

In my opinion it is a problem of my body's reaction to the sensor, but nobody knows how to tell me anything.

Thanks for your opinions.

By chance I did some tests in London for something else and gave the interstitial in the back of my arms or could not be measured or fluctuated so much that it made the sensors die in several ways.

The dermatologist told me that he was not the only person to whom he had passed and that after making some measurements, in the chest or inside the legs and buttocks they would make me much better, and so I did since then, and go from losing many sensors without knowing then if it was the legend of the lot or the Martians, to go bad one one or twelve ...

Put them in my chest or inside the thigh, not only makes them more exact, but it is very rare that they fail

Finally someone who happens to me.I believed a Martian.

I don't know if they can or want to do those tests, but I will try.

Thank you very much for your comment, it is very helpful to me

All the best,

A tacker question, what sensors do you use?

On the worst day they failed me six in a row if I remember correctly.Posting ten minutes messages and reading again ..... Several times, in order to put ..... Sensor exhausted I changed sensor or something similar ..

My mother ... 6 sensors in a row failing?If it happened to me, I would practically melt the 3 -month -old sensors in one day !!

A friend Dr. also told me that Abbot designates the rear of the arm not because it is the best, but why it is the least demands can assume due to injuries, the skin is more resistant, than that of the chest, high buttocks or interiors areas thighs.

If, for me the free freestyle 2 are literally shit, they never worked well and of every 3 I had to return one and many times they fell before the 15 days, now I use dexcom One+ and apart from being much better, they take a standard in each sensor a patch and these do really endure hours of pool/beach (I have them for social security and it was the doctor who recommended the change that I recommended that theFreestyle never square with blood analytics)

The Dexcom One+ also also has options to calibrate the sensor with the result you have in the blood and also have alarm options such as if you put an alarm above 250 and you know that after eating you will almost certain you will get there for a brief period of time, you can put that that alarme late 60min in sounding, if at 60min it is still high then warn and the alarm of low sugarwarn again

By the way, I have not commented on my latest night adventures.

50 brand, low trend, serious hypoglycemia.I repeat at 5 minutes, follow the same.

I've been in DM1 for 40 years, I no longer notice the descents unless they are very severe.That said, he ingests half beaten.It gives me to make it capillary and brand 150.

Well bolo 1 FIASP unit, for the low trend, and to sleep until the next day

100 in the morning

Hi.The sensors never failed a server ... and I play wood.

As for reading compared to the capillary, in my case if the glucose is low, there may be little difference (this morning with 100 in the sensor the capillary marked 120)., But if I have relatively high, for example 150 or 160 the difference can reach 40.

Knowing this and if the sensor whips me, I don't be alarmed and compensated quietly, (without hurry but without pause).

Greetings.

Hello everyone, but that I see that I am not the only one!

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes recently and I am starting with free freestyle 2. Social security gave me seven sensors, but I am quite overwhelmed because I have already had to change two in a week.

The first failed to the fourth day (it marked error all the time), and the second is giving me readings very far from reality: I marks hypoglycemia of 55 when I am in 119, or peaks that do not coincide with how I feel or with the hair glycemias.And obviously I am not noticing any hypoglycemia.

I am not yet registered in the Abbott system, so I cannot contact them until they do the monitoring next week that they will make the definitive entrance from the hospital.I am ashamed to have spent two sensors and I don't know if I should change this too or endure ...

Has something similar to the beginning happened to you?Have you had to change several sensors in a row?I would be great to read experiences or advice because I am quite nervous.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I did not happen to me the first years of use, but in the last year, when I had to change by error of the sensor several followed on the fourth day of use and erroneous readings in many, having to take hair measures.Abbot always sends me a new sensor when they fail me.I don't know how Seg. Soc. Because Asisa facilitates them.

But the real problem is not knowing the right reading to make decisions.

This is for streaks, I carry, at best, a year or more that I have not had serious connection problems.

They are really giving me some problem lately, but it is since I updated android 15 not because the sensors give problems themselves.

In 10 years with sensors I have had of all kinds.

Those who dAn error and you have to wait 10 min, if the message comes out 3 times, there is no room, ask for replacement.And if it measures very badly from the beginning, he says end before the 15th.

I think that if the sensor is not able to calibrate, directly the forces force to finish it.

It can be for our body composition, location, whatever interstitial fluid makes unstable.

But it is a theory, I doubt Abbott confirms it.
