LibreLink and free sensor with error

to see that the sensor does not seek precision, it is treatedof orders of magnitude.Stability ranges, so Abbott changes from high variability.
It doesn't matter to 80 as 140 if in this range we do not rectify with insulin.The same as between 180 and 240 when we use the same units to rectify.
The only exact blood analysis is.

With Diabox, sometimes, you have to erase the calibrations and start over because the sector resets to day 5 for example and begins to change its variability.

I do not agree.It doesn't matter to 80 than 140. A 80 if I am hungry as, at 140 no.A 80 salts to do different sports than 140 ...
And I correct myself different from 180 than to 240.
We already know that the only thing is the blood tests but the sensor has to approach.In my case it is usually quite accurate, except the first day, so I do not see normal when someone tells those differences so great, that for me they are important.
@Sandman
I believe that once I claimed a sensor for measurement differences.As I knew the story I exaggerated a bit (if the glucose gave 150 and the sensor 100 because I said that the sensor gave 60 and so ... 😉).They changed it to me.

Is that right now the glucometer gives me 140 and the sensor marks 71.
I put the sensor just 2 days ago, I don't think I will improve the thing.
I think it is defective even if it does not have connection errors or anything.
At two at noon something curious happened to me that had never happened to me:
For 12 minutes of clock followed (which are 12 measurements, let's go), FreeLink gave me 53 and Diabox 109. Every minutes the same numbers unchanged.As if I had reached a stop or something.I don't know, something very rare.
So I'm going to enter the web and I'm going to claim a new one.
This one looks like at any time will leave me lying.

The same, mymit that I have claimed with the last one.I claimed the web and made me call and give all the data the next day.According to the girl who attended me, it is very rare that that happens ... and in 6 months it has happened to me with two ... and I see that more people have happened and with more ... Anyway

This is the height, this afternoon I have changed the sensor again and after 3 hours it still does not work.
The truth is that this is overwhelming.
I carry 6 or 7 sensors in a month.
This is a complaint.

In my experience the first day of the sensor is better to leave it calm, if it gives you mistakes after 24 hours then you have to change it and notify Abbott.

sensor installed on Wednesday, yesterday giving the error of "try again in 10 minutes".
Today it does not give connection errors but marks me 50-60.Compared to three different glucometers.
Now I am in 158 calibrated with Diabox and the FreeLink 98 app.

The normal thing for my experience is that it marks about 20 approximately but this difference is a pass.

Even Abbott's reader/glucometer, used with the blood strip, which usually marks about 20-30 less, is marking about 30 more than the app.

Do you claim a new sensor to Abbott when it gives such great differences?

Another thing, when do you have those differences communicate it to your doctor?I say it because when I see the graphics almost always in hiccups it will hallucinate.You will think that we are hurrying to the fullest, when it is not.

It happened to me that the sensors that begin giving such errors the first day then give rare things the following until they break or begin to work well.But of course, it is a gain having to deal with the sensor gives huge errors for 3 days, in short.I once called and changed it to me, but it is true that the difference was 190 in blood, 60 the sensor.That sensor was more dead than alive.

I have tried to tell doctors and such but they don't understand it, in the end it is their tool to know if you are controlling yourself well and do not understand all the problems they can give.

What you can try if you are doing very bad ABBOTT is to ask to see if they can change Dexcom.

Quiet, I have been leaving five claimed sensors in the last month, they must be split.The latter seems good

But it is very rare: in this last two months there have been sensors that I have been using with my new Samsung mobile and have gone to the mother.And there have been others who, because of whatever, I cannot use them with that mobile and I have to pull my old huawei because no matter how much I try and give continuously signal loss error.
The version in both mobiles is the last one in LibreLink.
The only difference is that a mobile is Android 13 and the other Android 10, I don't know if it will be for that.
But if it were incompatible, why sometimes do not and other times?

Good, I just spoke with Abbott to replace the last two sensors I have used.
I have commented on the problem of errors with the Samsung and has confirmed that for next week or the next one will come out of the LibreLink app to correct these errors in several more recent phone models.
Hopefully it will be true and solve at once.

@isabelbota I have been using the sensors 7 years, I assure you that you don't seek precision, only an orientation data.
De facto Abbott is advertised with the slogan "does not need calibration."
If you want precision, talk to your endocrine and you will return to the capillaries.

@Ruthbia, but they should look for it.If not, they are deceiving us.We have replaced the capillaries with sensors, not as a complement.

Agree with you 100%
It is clear that they are not as precise as glucometers, but it is not logical that I mark me 45 when I am in 130 or vice versa, that is to fool me.

During this year I have had no sensor that measure as the capillary.All measure below.Some up to 50 points less.It is a roll because you don't know how you are.By chance, I discovered that when I am in hiccups, or I am going down, the smartphone stress meter is stopped.So now, if the sensor gives me red values, I check the stress with the clock and, if it coincides, I check with the capillary.I had two sensors that were so erratic that it had to be with capillaries every two by three.
In the health center they told me that they were only going to change two per year, so, when I get some with very large deviations, I endure and support myself in the glucometer.They give me reactive strips in parallel with the sensor.
I fear that the glycosilada of the next analysis will be mediocre.The app tells me that I have 5.9 but, as always measures I will be above 6.
If the measure is very disparate and you get from the sensor you can make misguided decisions, such as correcting being in acceptable values ​​or rescuing when you are not in hiccups and liar.
Another thing, when I leave the sauna the sensor marks through the clouds and returns to normal values ​​when it is already tempered.
What does not fit me is that some work well and others do not.Our control depends on this gossip and should be more reliable
