Freestyle Libre 2 Plus Sensor for diabetes monitoring CGM for UK

So, I lost my prescription one and ordered this. It has a slightly different logo on box from the NHS version but no biggie. I’ve stuck it on and (waiting the hour for sensor to boot up) so far all looks good. I’ll report back in an hour to see whether it’s working but meantime having read some of the negative reviews I’ll add,- 1, once you’ve stuck it on your arm make sure you use the very top part of your phone to scan sensor/otherwise it won’t work. 2, if it’s very hot and you is sweaty don’t try to put it on, it won’t stick or stay on. Wait until you’ve cooled down in cool shower and/or use an alcohol wipe to clean contact area of sweat. 3, make sure you buy some Libre covers (lots on Amazon) which will protect it and stop you mistakenly pulling/knocking the thing off. I work on a car production line handling tools, climbing in and out of small cars 10 hours a day and in 4 years have only pulled one off/I pulled 3 off in 6 weeks before I bought some covers. Watch this space for continued review. Ok, after the usual 60 mins it ‘booted’ up and here we are 30 hours later and it’s still working perfectly. Obviously it may fail prematurely and I’ll report back or (As I suspect) it may last the full 14 days. Watch this space. 😄 So 14 days of faultless operation. All great and highly recommended. As an aside for ‘newbies’ IF you ever buy a dud or it stops working before the 14 day period Abbott offers an excellent 08.00 to 20.00 phone service where after answering a couple questions they’ll send a new one out next day delivery. 😀

Qould give 0 stars but cant this item will not connect to the app and just says signal lost it scans to restart thebearm up bit then wont scan and will not connect at all total waste of money

Very reliable and easy to use sensor. Application is quick and mostly painless, and it works seamlessly with the app. Readings are consistent and helpful for monitoring glucose levels throughout the day and night. It provides great peace of mind and makes tracking much more convenient compared to traditional finger-prick testing. Good quality product that does exactly what it’s designed to do. I’m very happy with it and would recommend it.

Customers should be aware that continous glucose monitors aren't very accurate, yet they are important to check glucose patters. This device does that very well. It lasted the 14 days and was easy to setup and use. Really recommend it.

This sensor only lasted 2 days ..Not very happy as it cost a lot of money

My chemist were out of stock and didn't know when the new ones would arrive, as I have low sugar events overnight I thought I need to buy one. The work as expected the best thing was it arrived the next day! 3 days latter mine arrived at chemist, so great in an emergency.

Sensor failed but replaced immediately and arrived the next day. replacement works as expected

I find the Freestyle Libre 2 Plus so easy to use—just a quick scan and I can see my levels without finger pricks. I am not yet diabetic, but it helped me monitor my blood glucose levels with less hassle, good connectivity and function. It’s a perfect buy for those with diabetes.
