Opinion (honest) on glucose sensors

Everyone has lasted the 15 days.Diabox hooks me well, yesterday I change it and tremble that I don't do it.I have the problem that does not let me accept the alarms and with sound I only have the very low.

The Ultkma Hemo came out fatal and I thought it was fine.They do not measure anything well and as you say Isabel Abbot considers that differences of 60 are acceptable.I make a lot of hair controls because ta did not trust me.

@Anaisabel I don't know if you read my last thread a few days ago.

Just in case you don't see it:

If the sensor gives you differences of 50 or 60, it has not been able to self-harm well.From my experience using sensors for more than 2 years, the only cause of that happened to me, was to have Diabox (or Juggluco) installed.And it is not worth having it without permits, you have to take it out at all.Once I uninstalled it went from that difference of 50, the next day I am perfect.In absolutely all cases.And there have been more than 50 perfect sensors (from the second day), except only when I had those installed programs.Much coincidence I think.

I also saw that it could affect, not having the mobile always next to and connected to the app. I think that at least the first day it may be necessary so that it can be self-adjust well.Because I have always had it near the sensor and in connection.

Good morning.

Apart from what Sherppa41 comments, you also have to have the layer of the cappillary to the sensor that is usually about 10 minutes according to

Already, but that has nothing to do in this case.That continuously marks 30/40/50, and up to 60 below is not the subject of capillary.In the 5 years that I have been using sensors, these differences were not given and now all the sensors mark me much less.

The sensor has just felt the sixth day.I will pay attention to you and uninstall Diabox before putting the new one.And I'll tell you if that works for me too.

@isabelBota There is a typical failure that when it marks in a row, there is a time that asks for replacement.I have this failure identified, about 5 in the 9 years I have been using them.

[[ERROR-TRANS]]Este fallo no tiene nada que ver con Diabox u otra aplicación, es un fallo del sensor.

At the moment I have no problems with other applications.

This failure has nothing to do with Diabox or other application, it is a sensor failure.

At the moment I have no problems with other applications.

I know what you tell me, but it's something else.They are not just false hypoglycemia, it is generally.It marks 120, I make a strip and they are 180, or tell me 100 and they are 150. They measure very low by system all the time.

[[ERROR-TRANS]]Pero claro, cuando estás a 50 te dice 50. Por tanto, cuando el sensor marca 50 puedes estar a 50 o a 100...un desastre y descontrol absoluto.

I already said it in another thread, the sensor that I have now not stopped by less, even 70 less.

I started it on Monday and I give a discounted that in two or three days it will give me error and I will have to change.

It is a disaster all this, really.

@Sherpa41

Unfortunately, to remove Diabox, apart from that the battery lasts for me, it has not served me at all.I remain desperate, with huge differences, for example, now before breakfast I was 90 according to a sensor, according to glucometer 155 ...

And it is not punctual.I have this way since I use the plus, everyone measured me very low.They have always measured me below, but this is already exaggerated.What a disaster.

I am desperate with the new sensors.It is true that not one only reached me at 15 days, but hey, that is secondary, every "x" sensors claim one and compensated.

But what kills me is how they measure me.

I have the habit of in the morning before breakfast to make a capillary.Well, in plan: sensor 50, capillary 90, sensor 80, capillary 130, sensor 100, capillary 150 ...

Measure with huge differences below (which by the way, Abbot considers normal).I do not usually make myself capillaries but now that I marked 120 I just made one ... and 180 in the glucometer!

I have thought to see if it was the site and I have tried buttocks, thighsAnd now I have it in the belly and nothing, beastly differences, like 50%.Therefore, I think that as Glico gives me 5, 50% more are 7.5 !!!

I moved to 6, I don't even want to think about it.And I can't find a solution.Because in the latter, Diabox has not hooked and therefore I cannot calibrate it ...

Does anyone happen to someone or am I just me?

If I spend the same, I put it in another forum (Diabox problems) it happens to me, I speak with Abbot and they changed it to me without problem, but they said that the difference can be for everything (the weather, the food, the water, the luck etc etc etc, everything except for them the patches) they recommend that they put the power to calibrate them, if we ask for it all they put it, Diabox no longer works with the new patches.

Have you tried the freestyle 3+?

It is working much better than the 2 and 2+ that lost the connection continuously despite having the mobile next to it.

I only measure me with the glucometer when I am low or very high and the 3+ freestyle is nailing the values.The sensor and glucometer practically mark the same.

I do not use any APP apart from the Abbott officer (I left Diabox a year ago when it began to fail).

If when I speak with Abbott I told me that the free patch 3+, they had improved it a lot, with more reach of the bloutuch up to 6 meters.The patch works with the mobile and the meter at the same time ???(I use with the free patch 2+ the 2 is to say first with the meter of his, scan it, and at the time I scan it with the mobile and use the 2) with the 3+ can it be done ???or only works with the mobile application?Thank you

To those who say that the sensor measures you just like the glucometer, what glucometer are you using?If it is Abbott's, keep in mind that it also measures.These months I have been comparing it with other brands and brand 20-30 than the others.

To calibrate Diabox I add minimum 20 to what comes out and, even so, in the last review in the endocrine I had a curious lag between blood test and what Diabox estimated me.I think I remember that Diabox 5.7% and analysis 6.2%.

So neither does it feel much of that glucometer.

PD: I had the One Touch Verio for 3 years (until they stopped prescribing the strips in the S.S.) and that one that stuck the values ​​with the analysis I did during that time.

Indeed, I stopped using Abbot's glucometer because it also measured me well below.I asked them for a new one and they answered their mantra "the differences are acceptable", so I use one that had before and with cheap strips.

But come on, my last Glyc was 6.1 and the Free said 5. And that was before the Plus, which measure even lower ...

I have ABBOTT and Onetouch glucometer, and they measure me the same.And I compare them with the analytics and of course, measure less, but not much, about 10mg/dl.

The 2+ sensors measure everyone.Commented by the endocrine who see many patients.

I am going well for Diabox, but, I would be fried to capillaries, from LibreLink I did not fio.

I bought myself and those of Abbot and they give me accu-chek instant in the SS.

They normally measure me the 3 equal, nailed to the sensor.Except at some point that glucometers (lucky the sensor) or high climbs where they deviate a little.

In the last 2 analytics the sensor measured me about 10 points above the analytics (160 vs. 150).And Freestyle also gives me a glycosilada, somewhat higher than the analytics.

Before, until a year ago I spent the other way around.The sensors always marked somewhat less.

Good morning

I must be lucky, because of the 6 or 7 years I have been using sensors, none were never taken off.And as for the failures, only one gave me an initial failure without giving me any reading.I got Abbott to replace it, sending the defective in a special envelope.

That is why I have not just understood so much negative comment about them, when I am personally one of those who think that we have changed our lives, for the better.In fact when I am one day without him, I get a kind of fear/anxiety.Of course, it is my personal experience.And cases there will be as many as diabetics.

Greetings.

Well, I am not a sensor user, I am not going to deny you that they have given a little comfort, but according to whom and their circumstances.Personally, I have used it on a couple of occasions by buying it on the Abbott website, both Freestyle 2 and 3. I have to say that the problem of detachment did not occur, but if after 14 days the area where it was inserted showed a reddish color, which I had to deal with alcohol, even if it billed it to the possibility of sensitivity of my skin.As for changing my life ... I cannot afford to see me with a sensor both partners (regardless of age) and citizens, when working in groups of people with a hierarchical structure, you realize the reality of interest for oneself and anything is justifiable to obtain it, taking to whoever is ahead.On the other hand, you comment that you enter a kind of fear when you do not carry it, I think it would happen to me the opposite with the glucometer, more knowing that the sensors can give erroneous values ​​and have a recognized margin of error.With the freestyle 3 I had the problem with the wonderful mobile app of the mobile did not deactivate the notifications and alarms, which put the mobile in silence and even in a plane mode that did not stop emitting sounds, one night I already had to turn off the mobile because it was insufferable.In other circumstances or in another work perhaps if I would use it, although I am always worried about certain sports such as contact sports, or fitness itself when using a machine that can support it or the area.Now luckily the sensors are facilitated free of charge by the SS, something that benefits, but also harms by inachesing competence when monopolizing all the same laboratory.That it is true that the sensor has evolved, something that was and could have been feasible from Freestyle 2 as the reading transmission without the need to pass the mobile or device;I could have optimized the app so that they could be easy to install in watches with any type of operating system, without the need to install third -party app and have to play to be engineers, it is more could have developed their own smart watch for readings, with that a very high level of benefits were guaranteed, such as continuing to bet on somewhat less invasive and reduced sensors.But each diabetic@ is different as well as each diabetes in each one is different and we will never agree as to how much and when it must rain.

@Uvi

I carry the sensor on the leg, where I would be the pocket of the pants, they do not see it in the pool because the swimsuit and in the locker rooms the boxers are covered.

And Freestyle's application if you take away the alarms does not sound.In case you dare to try it again.

And you are right on the clock, it is almost embarrassing that they have not developed a clock that would be paired easily and independently with the sensors, it would be fantastic for children and they would not have to go with their mobile hanging all day.The closest thing is the Dexcom G7 with the Apple Watch but when I read opinions I still have just convinced me.

Do you mean the front or rear pocket?, because being how you say, I can consider it and I encourage myself to use it again, because it is true that I change my clothes, but if you cover the interior or so bad.When driving if it is the rear, any discomfort?thank you so much

@Luvi is in the front, in the center a bit inward, when I put my hand in my front pocket with the pants I play it and I think it is a coin.

Of course, I always cover it with kinesiological tape so that when I remove my pants I don't start it unintentionally.

The one in the photo has put it in a place perhaps safer but more sensitive, I always put it in the area that I have marked in blue

Go

I alternate, always in that marked blue area.
