Very pleased

I’ve been a type II PATIENT and heavily insulin dependent for over 40 years. I started using the Libre about 5 years ago and have been very pleased with it. About 2 years ago I started using Ozempic and lost 99 lbs. I have not used insulin since a month after starting Ozempic. Although I digressed a bit the point is I have been able to to monitor my glucose readings with a significantly accurate reading vs finger sticks since using the Libre. Periodically I check with a finger stick and the numbers are right on. Recently I started to use the 2 plus sensor with the new software supplied for my iPhone. What impresses me is the readings are real time and I don’t have to manually scan as often. I also like the new 7-90 day history charts,especially the chart that outlines how well I comply with my target ranges. Finally, the GMI reading is equal to the lab computed A1C. That is just awesome as I really don’t have to wonder how I’m really doing. Thank you Abbot Labs!

not compatible

Since the iPhone did a new update last Sunday the libre is not giving me any alarms. I had a 349 reading this evening. And a 60 some reading this morning.I spent two days on the phone with Apple often on to see what the problem was. I thought it was on their end, but it wasn’t. Then I called libre and got someone who knew absolutely nothing at least about this problem and we finally decided that it is with your operating system that doesn’t communicate with the new operating system from the iPhone.The young man that I spoke to seem to not be cognizant of what my problem was, and it didn’t appear that he had any support he could turn to. I am really disappointed. The suggestion that the young man gave me was I should try a new sensor well the problem with that is if I try a new sensor and it didn’t work. Boat and have to wait 15 days or ruin the sensor because you can’t switch between the sensor reader and my iPhone like you could with the 2.If I start a new sensor with the reader, then I’m locked into that for the next 15 days and I cannot send the information to my doctor and I don’t have a number two to use. I don’t know I’m just whole situation. I rely on this product and now I’m even afraid to go to sleep because I think I took too much insulin to bring my blood sugar 349 this is just. It is so frustrating. I’m gonna sound like an absolute idiot, which I am not. I have been using this product for a long came out with it.

Best version so far.
07/25/2025

Saying that this is the best version so far is not saying a whole lot.From my experience the Libre series of CGM is flawed at best and dangerous at worst. While they do what they are supposed to do, the lack of adjustments makes it difficult to trust the results. There is no way to let the system know that the sensor is giving inaccurate results except removing it and putting on a new one. The addition of the sound control is something the series has really needed. Having to completely turn off the sensor to have it be quiet for a short time seems dangerous, so this new feature is greatly appreciated. My one complaint about the interface is the selector that looks like some kind of WiFi or signal connection, but is actually used to install a new sensor is baffling. The only two selectable items on the Home Screen are this WiFi looking thing and a plus sign to add new information, ie food eaten, long acting insulin, slow acting insulin, etc.This edition of the Libre series is the best so far, maybe soon they’ll catch up to the Dexcom, but by then my insurance won’t pay for the Libre and I’ll have to switch back to the Dexcom.

LibreLinkUp support is broken
09/13/2025

App_gus07#
In general I like most improvements with the new app, but I face a major flaw: since I started using it, LibreLinkUp repeatedly started failing. Once in a while it catches up with recent data, but most of the times, LibreLinkUp show an empty panel and an error about "no recent data". When I go to LibreView, and download the data available, it is many hours or more than a day old. Meanwhile, Libre, on the same phone, always shows current data, and is always connected to the internet. The fact that once in a while it is able to catch up means that it seems to be configured correctly, but it makes it unusable for being so flaky. For me, it means the cgm readout on the smartwatch is now unusable. I am sorry for family members that used to depend on this once useful feature.Also: looking at the large amount of critical reviews with clear descriptions of similar patterns of problems, the response I always see is "we need more details, call this #" ... that's really discouraging after all these months instead of mentioning additional testing being done and the progress of an update to fix the issues, the responses so far seem rather tone deaf to be honest ...
