something incredible has just happened to me.I have failed three sensors in a row in the first shot.I finished the 15 days of the last sensor and one behind the other have failed in the first analysis.I don't explain it to me.It is the same area, without different weather conditions, dry and clean skin.And nothing.

It is true that not clicking is a comfort, but when thinking about the number of times that the meter fails (glucose differences, for example), more times that the sensor is broken, I do not know if one can set the values ​​that mark, which are the ones that determine the insulin that I put in the future.That is, the treatment may be vitiated.

I have always replied without problems the sensor putting myself in contact with the company.Anyway, I would like to make a reflection: Why do I have to manage with a private company what I need to treat my diabetes?Why do I have to give my personal data to a private company if I am with a treatment with public health?I think it's important.

Sometimes a lot is defective and everyone fails.
Regarding managing them above you have my opinion, among others.
A thousand times better to call Abbot than having to go to the health center to "beg them."(And much better that the nurse works in her than delivering sensors).

It doesn't matter Abbot, they behave well in the office, they threaten you to take it out of the truth is that my husband does not work well, sometimes he marks him 70 aboveHe showed the doctor the difference in points taking measure by the sensor and another of strips sometimes is going well but this has to improve it and much since if it gives over 200 and you do not have it when you quickly put on you.

@_ tacker_ I don't know what to tell you.It is not very normal for you to fail you.

I use them 6 years ago, paying them, of course until 2020. In January 5 units followed from the same manufacturing lot failed.I took them to the SS and replaced them without problems.I no longer call Abbott at all, that was before when I paid them.
In these years, many have failed me, but many, followed only since they are provided by the SS.

Have you tried to put it elsewhere?Perhaps in your case you have to look for another area of ​​the body: gluteo, high leg area, chest ... in the arm where Abbott says I never take them.

In patient care you can claim, but they do not usually pay much.You can also pay them and give you capillaries in the SS;In my case I buy the capillaries, when I give me sensors I do not pay them.

I have failed some other but sporadic way, I call Abbot and they replace me without problem are social security

They have told me in the health center where the sensors give me that because two or three fails me per month, they will not give me more, all the failures have beenCommunicated to Abbot and have confirmed that by the error codes they are sensor failures and not mine.

I have spoken with the diabetes nurse that took me to the beginning and with Abbot, and both tell me that the health center receives again all the sensors that are delivered as defective, and in my case they are backed by the incidence number of Abbot, so I do not understand that they deny me the replacement of them.

The improvement in my quality of life has been impressive and returning to the lancetas with the hypersensitivity that I developed in a few months in my fingers gives me to think about the value of having sensors and reducing the tests with the glucometer to four or five byday.

I have put the sensors in front of nurses and even in front of other diabetics that have been with them for years, and everyone confirms that I do it well.If it is shown that for some reason that they do not know how to say they fail, because it is I who will pay the consequences.

I would like to know if someone else has had the same problem or similar and how it has gone, since today I have considered several things, from mobile problems, where they will have been stored, interferences of an alarm that the skin ofThe back of my arms is the key.I have never put the sensors in another place other than that recommended by Abbot.

The degree of despair has sometimes been capital, the happy interstitial is as if it did not exist in me.

Greetings,

When someone wants you to deny something, they have to do it based on what.
It is the endocrine that authorizes you the distribution of the sensors.
Formula a complaint to patient care, written well and includes the tests of both.

They do not have the right to take away something in which you have good control and make a correct use.

Well, if my husband has it, he has left it for the descents if he warns but the climbs has times up to 70 points above blood why the first time was quickly insulin and the desulin was imagined now does not trust the health centerThat it works for them not to do what they have to do is correct those mistakes, my husband has taken pictures of the sensor measure and another device at the same time to teach the doctor has a great blood sensor app sends it to the mobile andHe makes you the report if but it does not trust anything has too many failures for the health of the diabetic can be fatal a shame why it would be great that this was good is the experience that I tell of my husband

You have to always check with glucometer before getting fast or eating.Never act without checking.

And he always does so but in his work one cannot stop when he wants for this reason he put on the sensor but those failures so large can cost a disgust at first we think they were failures and we returned them we talked to them but at the third time we sawthat it has times it has an abysmal difference I do not say that others work may depend on what their work does in their life etc But in the case of my husband a hard work always in the sun and much weight where one cannot stopFrom what they are doing, everything takes it as the doctors of Echo indicated 10 years ago that it began and managed to be with medication and without insulin until recently and has been admitted twice his control is great but great butThis device has disappointed and has too many failures

Here in Catalonia if you have a problem, call Abbott and solved, they send you fast replacement.The adhesive to improved over time and in effect, defective lots come out, in addition to the manufacturing quality of all of them is justified.
First were the insulin bolis, then the glucometers by capillarity and then the interstitial sensors (I do not say the pumps for not being a user), how well you live now with diabetes!.
Courage, enjoy life !!

If Abbott knows that they are failing that people with diabetes bunny are for study in such a serious thing are at least since they are honest and say we have to try but of course the money sends over health they always tell you flush with blood ifIt is high or low but you can always depend on your work what you do for that you put the sensor for tranquility and you do not have it why you do not have anymore since it has many mistakes something are not doing well and some in the end will pay itwith a great disgust

@Coralin
If your husband cannot lose a minute at work to check a sensor value, the problem is at work.If I did not carry a sensor, it would have to stop many more times to get strips, but what is clear is that a diabetic has the right to control its disease.
Yes, that the sensors fail, some more than others, but there is always the option of not using them, which from my point of view is much worse.
The progress must be valued, you just have to ask people who debuted many years ago, just without means of control, that was difficult.As says @fsp4434, now everything is easier.
And we have no choice but to use strips in extreme values, much better than wearing strips all day and being blindly the rest of the time.

You are wrong, my husband cannot leave it when it sounds and clicking the first thing that this knows the doctor so the sensor was very easy to comment without knowing why my husband what I did not have is to work and be retired but how I breathe then thenNothing to wait for something to happen since it does not only have diabetes has epilepsy and some more things if you do not work and it has been I understand your opinion why it should be so but in this case I do not assure you a greeting

@Coralin: I hope your husband can help this information that Abbott gives about his sensors (especially point 02):

Link

I can assure you that when the blood glucose is stable, the sensor and the capillary coincide.On the other hand, if you are up or down, it is better to use the glucometer before acting because the differences can be striking
I have been almost 40 years without a sensor and I assure you that it is the best we have, for the moment, to control diabetes.Although it is not perfect!
Taking a sensor is not sewing and singing but it entails a learning process and a time is needed until you learn to handle it.
I hope I have been helpful

I am glad that you work the biggest problem that the sensor has in this case is that work is hard of great weight and high temperatures. This makes the sensor make so many variations my husband is not novel in diabetes and has been using the sensor for months and knowsWell, the operation of echo my husband, his diet is above normal and with quite a lot this work is produced and there will be many like mine hopefully I can say one day what you are wonderful of echo has not taken off thedoctors are reviewing every 15 days to see in these conditions and to serve another and you are right everything carries their learning but this is not the case

@Coralin, I understand you perfectly I also have hard work and I think that they should retire before or some benefit for diabetes, but here you see, they even think how beautiful it is to live with diabetes, with that 50 years ago they were worseThey say everything !!Diabetes retirement already, and the one who wants to work that works that nobody prevents it, but I preferred, playing sports every day and not working

Totally, my husband has several pathologies in addition to 35 -year -old diabetes and continuesfull sun in the street and with pesos and many more jobs but not as long as you can work is incredible greetings

@Coralin by diabetes do not give you permanent retirement except for very serious cases.
By epilepsy they give it to everyone.My uncle is 75 years old and is a pensioner since 30 for epilepsy.I have not met him working and I have 51.

Well, my husband has epilepsy and diabetes and something more with many years quoted and they told him that I do not suppose that the people who looked at him were more fair than those who looked at mine we have taken to control epilepsy almost 20 years andThey have given it so that I do not have my husband has the treatment for life and can not take another why he also has allergy to medicines is my experience of Echo continues to work and not in a comfortable job if not quite hard

You will have to inform you well to request the pension.That starts with the work casualties, then the court and medical reports.
I have a pensioner friend since 32 for sclerosis (not ELA), he was formwork.He spent a year of labor leave until he obtained it.

I understand your outrage @Andrespmat but I think anyone seems "beautiful to live with diabetes".Yes it is to live, and have the opportunity.With an acceptable quality of life being chronic patients.
It will seem a lot and that it does not come to the case with the advances there are, but it has been hardly 100 years that insulin was invented.(1921).
I was born in 86 ... (It seems that I am 90 years old, but no, I have 38).
There were barely insulin, glucometer, etc ... understand us when we say that there is no comparison: slow, fast insulins, smart bolis, pumps, glucometers, sensors, apps, treatments for complications, studies ...

What is shit (forgive everyone) to live with diabetes?It is.
What can we live?That is what is happy!
Tell someone with Cancer Stage IV.

There is much, much to do, rights to win, laws to change, indiscreet looks to endure and people have a lot of misinformation of what this entails because we are "those who cannot eat buns."
But I am very happy to live (and my life is not easy) with diabetes ...?well yes.Let's say yes.

Yes, I understand it !!If the one who only has one eye is happy because he compares with the blind, it is Spain we always compare ourselves with the Third World, so we are doing so well, if we compare ourselves with the advances we are a m….
