Abbot Freestyle Libre Sensor 2 Glucose Monitoring Sensor Pack of 2

I have purchased these for my diabetes management. I have found finder pricking too painful. I was not funded for these, so I have purchased these. They are really easy to apply, and can locate the monitor really via my phone. So it can give me real time blood sugar levels, I can not recall these.

Great to use

It's a good product, especially if you have to test frequently. However I think it is expensive to use on a regular basis £105.00 for a pack of 2 sensors (1 sensor lasts 14 days). Think if you are going on holiday or if you are unwell then it's brilliant.

One of the CGM sensor stopped working after 5 days and had to be binned

Easy to use, pretty accurate ( I compared to glucometer a few times), I’m not diabetic but trying to make sure I don’t get diabetes type II in future. I have a tendency to higher than normal fasting glucose and realised that certain foods )eg any rice or bread)sent my glucose high. With the help of this device I was able to personalise my food choices so that they’re healthy for me and don’t cause high glucose spikes. I discovered that those times when I got “ the munchies” happened after foods that caused my glucose to spike. Keeping the glucose graph from this sensor without major spikes has helped me get my glucose down to good levels, prevented dips after exercise and helped me lose weight.

I have only had one our of the four stay on for full 14 days. Too expensive to have to replace every 5-8 days

Very easy to use. Simple instructions. Do you your smart phone for compatibility tho as not every phone works. In my experience there is always a slight variation with a finger prick test but nothing to worry about. Been using for over two years now.

I bought these for my husband who’s been diabetics for over 30 years, wonderful piece of kit once you put it on, giving readings with the phone app in 2 seconds. But it does have some massive faults: when my husband has a hypo and starts sweating, the device comes undone straight away, so if you put it on 2hrs before a hypo, then you sweat, it comes off straight away…that’s a major issue that needs to be addressed by the company as it is way too expensive to only be used for a couple of hours!!! Also, my husband hasn’t realised until now, but when he walks through door frames he is very close to the frames and any light touch will displace the device…it's meant to last for up 2 weeks but the most we got out of it it’s 5 days! It’s frustrating as it’s such a wonderful device when it works, but it surely way too expensive for the disadvantages it comes with.
