Have you ever used the FreeStyle Libre 2? What was your opinion/feedback after using it? Do you still use it/did you switch? What device do you use?

Take care,

Lizzi

I to have been using the Libre2 and must agree the elimination of finger sticks has been a good send especially after 30 years of monitoring. I have been using the device for almost a year and sing it’s praises to anyone who will listen. I had one device fail which was immediately replaced.

I have been using the Libre 2 since March of this year and have had at least one in every three fail. Abbott is good about replacing failed units but the hassle is annoying. The low alarms at 2 in the morning and doing a finger stick to find you are in the good range is very annoying especially when it wakes your spouse also. I have seen that the failure rate is around 40% not at all impressive. When you are trying to adjust your insulin to your numbers it is very difficult. If you have a high reading and take to much you cause yourself to go low. I shouldn't have to do a finger stick to make sure if this is to replace doing finger sticks.
