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.

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.

There’s much to like about this app but there are two major problems that Abbott needs to fix, one life threatening for Hypoglycemic patients and one simply annoying.1) Life Threatening and therefore - with this review, Abbott’s on notice about the problem. Without a functioning Apple Watch App and App Widget, if I sleep with my watch on, I don’t get audible alerts for lows overnight which is life threatening. The Apple Watch Haptics take over because it goes on sleep mode and all that happens is my wrist vibrates. The Watch function overrides the notifications I have on my phone and I have NO WAY to override it for just the Libre app because you idiots don’t have a Watch app so I can set controls. I literally have had to have my daughter download the family app and she has to wake up when her phone alarms as I am dropping below 55 to call me. That is stupid. Truly stupid. What if I didn’t have a family member willing to wake up on work nights to keep me from going into a coma?!Abbott, this is epically dumb and a major legal liability for you. Fix this ASAP.2) Nuisance/inconvenience - why the Sam Hill is this not linkable to my Apple Health record? If it was, it would let me figure out if there was a link between my heart rate or respiration overnight and low glucose events. But I can’t see that trend because the Libre App doesn’t integrate with Apple Health. That’s pretty dumb but only annoying and not life threatening.

I work in the medical field and try to medical conditions to myself. Libre by Abbott is not having it. It wants the world to know that you are diabetic and that your glucose level is real high or real low. Discreet is not in the Abbott vocabulary. The very first day I wore it to work, it went off in the morning stand up meeting. The medical director asked where the “noise” was coming from. I told him DHL has a loud notification for “package out for delivery”. I also told him I will figure out how to disable the “noise”. Later Abbott set it up where you can delay the noise for up to six hours (still looking for a job with a six hour workday and no lunch). By the way, don’t throw away your old school glucometer yet because the sensor never knows when it is going to quit temporarily or permanently. And by the way, customer service still owes me two replacement sensors. The call to customer service was a waste of time. I still think the person on the other end was AI because it never helped. User friendly is not in the description of the LIBRE sensor. I guess it is still in beta mode. There has got to be a better way. $74 a month (my copay) for two sensors is a waste of money if they are not going to work half the time. I am “stuck” with this until someone comes along with something that works and is discrete.
