Libre 3+ Problems
TLDR: Libre3+ sucks, especially with Tslim.
Had a successful trial run with a 3+ sensor from my endo a couple months ago and decided I would try it out when my Rx for the G6 ran out. That was about 17 days ago. First sensor was very inaccurate and I found out then there is NO WAY to calibrate the sensor if you use a Tslim pump. Not through the pump and the app is useless if you use the Tslim 2, literally.
I’m 48 hours into the 2nd sensor and it goes no connection. After an hour I try Bluetooth on and off, phone on & off.
Tandem support is good. But I had to load a new cartridge, wasting 50 units of insulin (more than a 3 day supply) only for the restart of the sensor to still fail. They pass me to Abbott customer service who have me confirm stuff and then say they will send me a new sensor and I have start a new one.
It’s my bad for knowing about previous issues with bad calibration issues with the Libre 3+ causing deaths. But I would have thought my endo who also has type 1 would have known the pump is unable to recalibrate the sensors and that the app is incompatible with the pump. I did call them on Friday regarding the calibration issue but haven’t heard back.
I’m so pissed off (high blood sugar style) that I might have to deal with these for 3 months. I hope my endo can convince my insurance that these CGMs are incompatible with my pump.
Ugh.
Edit: the first sensor was inaccurate enough that I puked like 6 times within 24 hours of activation.
