Thank you Dr. Ergin for the video. I have the Freestyle Libre 2 from Abbott since April 1 2022. I had plenty of problems regarding the reading kit, its convenient but its not accurate. I have to call abbott most of the time, and they send me new sensor and new reading kit. Sometimes I still frick my fingers to make a comparison..
Thank you for the very informative content. I’m newly diagnosed and just started using the Libre 14 system and was unapologetic about few things that you pointed out. Again, thank you and I look forward to further information I can use to improve my health.
Thank you for your comment! For your specific results, a blood uric acid level of 452.64 mmol/L falls within the normal reference range of 214.00 to 488.00 mmol/L for males. However, it is on the higher end of the spectrum, so it may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider to determine if any further steps are needed, especially if you experience symptoms related to high uric acid. Always best to get personalized advice!

@@mooneve1702 No! As we know much in US healthcare is controlled by insurance. Just when Libre 3 became available at out pharmacy I also learned that our insurance will only support Dexcon, not Libre. So I have Dexcon 7. Similar functionality, but I wish I could try both and choose myself. Instead some clerk in a high rise building is choosing for me. 🙂
I am on my first full day on the libre 2.... Not impressed... It is NOT a cgm as advertised. I had a dexcom years ago and that provides a reading every 3 minutes. There is no way to calibrate the L2. The sensor readings are about 10 to 15 points off. Its basically a meter with alarms...... which makes no sense..If it's able to detect a low or rising levels, why cannot it display readings like a dexcom?
I understand. Whatever works for you. 😉 Thank you for watching our videos. Please spread the message. I appreciate you! Learn about cholesterol control too: ua-cam.com/video/kVSUoEX_fYk/v-deo.html
There is a separate reader for the Libre2 if you don’t have a compatible phone. Stop using Libre14 terminology, it’s a Libre 1 or Libre 2. With the Libre 1 you can use both the reader and your phone if you sync it to the reader first. That option does not exist with the Libre2, it’s one or the other which is no doubt a design flaw. It can be positioned on the inside of he arm where it is less likely to hook on something and come off.
I have problem keep sensors on my lower arm because of my muscles on either arm l lift weights I pop them out I put IV, picaderm, call company they that the only place sensors for work. Thank you for the advice Doctor.
Too bad they didn't design it to be truly compatible with the tens of thousands of blind diabetics out there, which to me is inexcusable. You must line up the marks to apply the sensor, and the reader that comes with the system does not "speak" the readings out. Even my TV speaks to me, but a device that is necessary for me to obtain good diabetic blood sugar control does not speak to me? Signal to speech technology is everywhere, but not in a CGM?? Even my $29 portable HAM radio speaks to me, as does my watch, etc. So how is it that the medical equipment manufacturers can make such a gross oversight as to make a CGM inaccessible to the blind?

I am a wheelchair user . Does the sensor has to be on the arm as opposed to the top of the light as that never get touch during the day ?
where I live they only have the 1st gen (cgm are very new still in my country) hopefully they'll be bringing in the 2nd and 3rd gen soon

Does the libre 2 read continuously or do I have to do something like put my phone near my arm or something?
I have the 14 day, insurance pays full cost. I have noticed the accuracy in general has improved to plus or minus 8 %. Was 12 % OR MORE 6 months ago.

I like Libre 2 because do not need a cell phone. Also, it takes a lot higher outside temperature tolerated, it gets 120 degrees here.
I’ve used both and the numbers are off by 30-40 points compared to getting blood by finger.

Libre 3 is a big improvement over the libre 2 which was already better than no CGM.
Next gen Libre 3 has been approved by FDA, so I am looking forward to that.

Better to stick yourself once than 20 times a day. And Medicare only allows you to change meters every 5 years.
