I was issued a new sensor a few days later.
Freestyle libre sensor error 4 hours.
Yes the freestyle libre automatically captures readings day and night so that glucose variations can be seen throughout the day including nighttime lows as long as the sensor is replaced at least every 14 days and scanned at least once every 8 hours.
5 to use both the freestyle libre reader and the freestyle librelink app with the same sensor start the sensor with the reader first and then scan with the app.
Then after a week the reader stopped working.
During the first 12 hours of wearing a freestyle libre 14 day sensor during times of rapidly changing glucose more than 2 mg dl per minute when the sensor glucose reading does not include a current glucose number or glucose trend arrow in order to confirm hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia as reported by the sensor.
Before talking about inaccuracies it s prudent to state that freestyle libre cannot always be 100 accurate most of these inaccuracies come in the form of a beginner s challenges the time it takes for the body to get used to the device and the way the sensor works.
Ate lunch went to scan post.
They injected the sensor and i went home and waited the hour for it to calibrate.
Swapped out my sensor this morning waited for the boot up and everything seemed fine for the first couple of hours.
It continued to provide errors making me wait an hour in between each check.
