Are FreeStyle Libre 2 & 3 accurate?
The FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3, just like the Dexcom G6, are FDA-approved to be used without fingerstick calibration — that is, the system meets the accuracy standards set by federal regulators. With that said, plenty of users are at least a little bit skeptical about their CGMs, and when in doubt tend to trust their traditional glucose meters.
My Freestyle Libre Shows Low/High Blood Sugar. My Fingerstick Doesn’T.
Some of our community members have complained that their FreeStyle Libre seems less accurate, especially when it comes to high or low glucose numbers. The FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3, just like the Dexcom G6, are FDA-approved to be used without fingerstick calibration — that is, the system meets the accuracy standards set by federal regulators. With th
My Freestyle Libre Is Always Inaccurate at First
Many users find that the Libre is inaccurate for the first 12-48 hours. That’s because it is less accurate. The manufacturer’s own accuracy studies show that the sensor takes a day or two to really get into the groove. If that’s the case for you, our advice is “don’t sweat it.” Just take those first readings with a grain of salt (see above) and wai
My Sensors Keep Failing
Unfortunately, some users experience a high rate of sensor failure. Sensors that are supposed to last 14-15 days may not make it that long, one way or the other. The solution? Make a note of the issue, write down any error codes, and then call Abbott and explain your problem. They are usually happy to send you a new sensor to replace the one that d
Error – Try Again in X Hours
Some users repeatedly get these frustrating error codes when they swipe their smartphone over their FreeStyle sensor. If it does finally work, sometimes the Libre has no glucose data for the previous 8 hours. There’s no fix to this problem, to our knowledge. Just stick with it, and trust your traditional glucose meter in the meantime. If the sensor
Do I Have to Wear It on My arm?
You’re supposed to wear it on the back of the arm — that’s the only location the Libre is approved for. However, as with the Dexcom, users have found other locationsthat they like just as much, with little or no apparent loss of accuracy. Other spots that might work for your Libre, if you prefer, include the thighs, the belly or lovehandles, the hi
My Sensor Hurts My Arm
Most people find the FreeStyle Libre sensor is completely painless. But a minority of users do complain about pain from insertion that may not go away during subsequent days. If your sensor leads to persistent pain, we would recommend trying a new site, especially one that is fattier or fleshier. Maybe use less pressure when you insert the sensor.
My Sensor Keeps Falling Off
Whether it’s sweat, muggy weather, swimming, or bumps into door frames, sensors have an annoying and potentially expensive habit of falling off. CGM users have devised many ways to improve adhesion, including the following: 1. Wash your skin with soap and water before insertion to remove grease and dirt. Shaving may help too. 2. Prepare your skin w
The Adhesive Irritates My Skin
Some patients experience mild or serious skin irritation in response to the sticky stuff that Abbott uses on the Libre sensor. Symptoms may include rash and itchiness, or worse. CGM manufacturers have been changing their chemicals to try and find mixes that have the least impact on sensitive patients, but those solutions may not help you. First, tr
