Extending Freestyle Libre Sensor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- I hope you enjoy this short video. This is one of the requested videos. Like i said at the beginning, FSL sensors can only be extended to the maximum of 15 days. Additionally, this method could stop working at any point. ( i will probably delete this video if that happens)

Location USA did get sensor to work for 14 days and about 14 hours. Used Glimp-S to start sensor and Glimp to read sensor with Blucon device. Glimp shows the 12 hours past 14 days in yellow. The end of life of the sensor will have the same result repeating. And a one hour start up time with Glimp as opposed to 12 hours. Just started the MiaoMiao today, much quicker connection and less problems with Blue tooth so far. Thanks again for your videos.
That is amazing. I am so happy that you managed to get over 14 days from your US sensor
Hi, did you extend your freestyle libre sensor life using miaomiao? which app did you use?
Thank you very much for the info! How did you learn about this? I have a lot of questions so I figure I can read on my own instead of bothering you. Some of my questions: 1) does it still work today with 14 day sensor? 2) If the sensor is already initiated using Abbot reader, is there no way to use Glimp with it anymore?
@@bobtan7187 Have not used for years since Abbott stopped use of algorithm by other apps. Glimp and Libre to me were the best until the algorithm was not available anymore. May be that these other apps have overcome this issue. Currently I am using a weak signal strength Dexcom G6 and transmitter.
@@keithpatschke2955 thank you very very much. I found out 3rd party app can't work with 14 day sensor because Abbott encrypted the data.
Great info this is so helpful when my mom's sensor ends right before bedtime this way we can wait till morning to change it! Many THANKS!!!
I came across Ambrosia’s Nightrider Blucon on my endo's advice. This when used with Libre Pro sensor allows you to get real-time readings and alarms of highs and lows. You can share your glucose readings with your caregivers and you can also pull out reports of last month or year. The best part is you don’t have to scan. Connects with Apple watch directly also. Highly recommended!
Please explain more
Have you had any skin issues using any of the CGM devices? I used the Libre for just over a yr when I started having site infections (I'm guessing from the glue).
Does it work with the freestyle libre 2?
Well done and thank you for posting this info. I'm on holiday and forgot to bring a spare so this will work for be hopefully!
**Edit (a day later)
I used Glimp which gave me an extra 19 hours. Interesting on top of the usual 14 days.
Thanks for posting this.
I noticed also whilst searching that one can re tag which could also allow more time.... I've not tried it myself though it's another potential hack, useful of course for similar cercumstancess, maybe....
Thanks for your video. Is there any option in order to reset the diary and have it like new? Thank you
Hey. I do not think so.
HI! did you get your Freestyle in the nightscout through a Android or Iphone?? We are stuck trying to use a freestyle+blucon+iphone to go into the nightscout! please adivise... ;)
I use iphone app called xdrip ios reader and now spike ( im working on vid about spoke so stay tuned for that). Those apps receive data from blucon and send it to nightscout. I hope that helps 😃
Do you know of a procedure for displaying the glimp readings on the samsung s3 smart watch?
Yes, this article explains this perfectly.
new subber: hello! where did you buy the night rider sensor...help pls
? what is the name of the androied app for the sencer ?
Glimp or libre scanner
My sensor is off it doesn’t work it didn’t fall help me please what did i did is i was holding the blue button for 20 seconds i think 🤔
Can u tell me the reason if u want
Thanks 🙏
Hi Nerdabetic,
I've managed to get on average, 8 extra hours out of Libres using a Miaomiao XDrip combo.. Based in the UK.
Before the readings on the graph just don't make any more sense.. Either going wildly skatty or on a repetition with the readings.
I can only guess that Abbott give it a reasonable 14 days before the body's immune system attacks the sensor seeing the cannula filament under the skin as a foreign body like a splinter or thorn?
The reasoning I can only guess for the 14 days or 10 days in other regions is a mixture of "built in obsolescence" & covering thier backs legally in certain regions like the states by moving the "goal posts" for our American friends..?
Lol, I've also tested the glue on the double sided tape before getting bored after 18 days, to date I've never lost a sensor. But then I place mine inside the arm.
Regards.
We loaded Glimp as the post didn't get my husbands sensor delivered on time. This has helped us alot.
So in theory to make the most with your prescriptions you could only get 10 day sensors and you said they last 14 days using 3rd party apps... this way you could start to build an emergency storage... my insurance only lets me get a month supply at a time so this is really awesome info... thanks a lot man
Yeah 10 days US sensor can be extended using those add ons but the new 14 day system cannot because it doesn’t work with them.
@@Nerdabetic Awesome thank you for the advice.
What's the app name Meyt?
Hi there. Could you tell what happens at the end of the extended life? Does x drip mention that sensor is dead? Or you start to get a constant reading (kind of getting stuck at last measured value?). Thanks
Hi. Normally, sensor just works. You just continously getting readings. I cant somment on xdip becasue i never used it 😀
My father's sensor continues to work right down to the very hour it was last replaced 14 days earlier. That seems awfully specific and suggests to me there is no reason these very expensive sensors ($70 each) can't last substantially longer.
Seriously. I'm hoping to one day have some kind of permanent or longer term devices, but I doubt they will make anything because these companies thrive off of disabled people's struggles.
@@dexa6623 there is one available in Poland that is implanted under skin, no plastic outside. I think it lasts half a year or so.
@LudVan 78 Fortunately, the Biden Admin cut that price in half, but $35 (after insurance) is still costly. A replacement Reader ranges from $95USD to $155USD.
Where i can get freestyle libre mechine ?
Get in online ?
There is an app which uses nfc by freestyle whichs doesnt need the machine, but you still need the implants.
Since the Blucon is able to extend the sensor, would it be possible for it to override the 12 hour start-up for the Libre here in the US?
Thanks. and i dont think so because during that start-up process sensor is not actually releasing any correct glucose values. I've never even tried getting reading during that 1 h because its only 1 h. What i know is possible is that if you use old EU ( german, UK) reader on us sensor then you will get 1 h start-up and 14 days on the sensor. I hope that helps
I can put the sensor on 24 hours before starting it up to solve the accuracy issue.The problem is that you have a gap of 12 hours where you can't get any readings. I've heard of somebody that tried using an EU reader and they said it didn't work with the US sensor, did someone have a different experience?
What is a "old reader" ? Got mine 02/2017. German one.
If that thing works, you should check german ebay. Due to the free 14 day trial, where you got to keep your reader, there are tons out there from that time period and basically nobody uses it, as most german insurances actually started paying for dexcom and enlite before they did for freestyle libre.
P.S.: If the reader does actually determine sensor life, try the "Glimp S" app.
btw, I totally forgot Libre was 12 hours warm up. That's crazy. I'm already annoyed by 2hrs warm up on dexcom once a week.
This really surprises me! Because I live in Japan and our sensors start transmitting data in an hour after activation. Also I have not noticed much difference between a finger prick test and my Libre values. Of course, this is somewhat relative, as I have noticed a few times a difference of maybe 15. But for me this didn’t cause any problems. Also this is not often.
You are amazing! Can you help me with something? I bought freestyle Libre from USA which is a US version. Is there any way I can make it work with global sensors? I live in Bangladesh and it's impossible for me to bring sensors from USA every month.
Thank you so so much. No sadly they will not work. Maybe try using your phone as a reader?
I can extend life of my sensor beyond 14 days upto 28 days with help of my blucon. This helps me activate the sensor too without the need of any reader
Can you explain how you do that?
Hi there! I'm in the U.S., and am on my third day using the sensor. (Soooo much easier than finger pricking). What app can I download on my Android phone to read my sensor info after 10 days? Thank you for the information btw!
Hi. So i know that Liapp is available in the US google play store. But you can also type libre into the google play store and im sure a lot of different apps will come up. I hope that helps. 😊😀 ( also sorry for a really late reply but i was on holiday ) 😋😘
My blucon helps me to extend libre1 and libre pro sensor beyond 14 days
Could you please explain how you have stuck the NightRider to the FreeStyle Libre sensor? I use a velcro but it is more separated than yours. Thank you!
I use double-sided tape. I'm currently waiting for additional attachment for the nightrider transmitter and then I will finally shoot a video with all of the ways of attaching this transmitter to the FSL sensor. So stay tuned, you can turn bell on for my videos. 😅😀😀
Is there any shelf life of Nightrider?
I am unsure, please speak to nightrider team to find out 😊
If you use your iPhone as your Reader will it extend life of Sensor to maybe 14 days?
No, you need to use unofficial android app or 3rd party transmitter ☺️ have a great day
You should always have one spare sensor. Gaining 2 days is bulls...just buy one extra . Plus a finger prick device should also be on stand by .
What the name of the app in ios?
which one? for libre then LibreLink 😄
I use xDrip with a Libre 2 sensor and today (about 1h ago) the sensor was supposed to expire (the LibreLink app shows it as "expired"), but to my surprise my xDrip continues to provide readings. Will edit this later with the amount of extra time I got out of it.
What are the results?
Hey wanna know about this asap ----- can i start my new sensor with i phone
Yes librelink app allows you to start a new sensor but you won’t be able to use your reader for that sensor.
@@Nerdabetic thanks a loot , i really really appreciate it .
@@Nerdabetic You can use both, from their website librelinkup.com/: "The FreeStyle Libre sensor communicates with the FreeStyle Libre reader that started it, or the FreeStyle LibreLink app that started it. If you wish to use both the reader and the app, start your sensor with the reader first, then scan with the phone within one hour."
Glimp dosent work with libre 2
Thanks for this video! Oh my goodness you should not be having to explain your readings, my BG went up to 19 mmol/L on NYE, so those are good compared to mine 😂
Thanks so much Michelle 😂😂😂😂 i really appreciate that 😂😂
Diabetic Energetic (
with blucon nightrider i can extend my libre sensor beyond 14 days and it helps me save a lot of money and the sensor works perfectly
How?
Thanks for youre Video. Small question: is it because of the battery life (of the sensor) that the extension is a maximum of 1 Day. If so, should it theoratically be possible to double the capacity of that battery to extend the sensors 'life'?
No, I simply will not work. You will not be able to insert it back in and I overall think this is not a good idea.
it's 14 days now in the US
If your sensor fall off your arm earlier then the 14 days how do you sink a new one
You just apply a new one and scan it with the reader. The reader will say this is a new sensor do you want to activate it. You need to press YES. This will delete the previous sensor and then you need to scan the new sensor again and then it's activated. I hope that helps 😄
If your sensor falls off before 14 days ,call the company they will replace it .
Hi
I use a 3m tegaderm film part number 1626 over my lebra sensor on my arm to keep it on for over 8 months now works great. And dose not affect the workings of the sensor.
actually, the Libre 1 senor (EU-version) can be restarted and lasts for additional 14 days beyond the factory 14, so about 28 days in total. The extension duration varies, but the sensor usually gives correct readings in the first 7 to 10 days after restarting, sometimes up to the 14th day. The Libre 2 sensor, however, cannot be restarted / extended beyond the factory 14 days. This is the main reason Abbott retracted the Libre 1 sensors and stopped manufacturing them, cuz, why lose money? There are some side effects to using this method though, like skin irritation from wearing the sensor for nearly a month, but it's better to spend 60 EUR for a month, than 120...
Can you tell how to extend it? I have libre 1
It is too good to be true. What is the method and what apps do you use for android?
Can you please explain how do you extand Libre 1 sensor for another 14 days?
@@saviobiogen9914 sorry for the extremely delayed reply... too bad the FS L1 sensors are not manufacturing anymore, but the restart method involves an Androoid app anD enterIng A code in a BOX within the app for restarting the chip, so it'd last 14 more days (the app name is implied by the big letters in this reply)
If your glucose readings are that good after NYE celebrations then I’m very jealous!
Hahah this must have been a one off event. This definitely does not happen often. Have a great day!
I am in the states and mine last 14 days.
My blucon helps me extend the life of libre sensor by another 14 days and helps me save money..every month
Lee bray 😳
actually, the libre 1 (not 2) can be extended for additional 14 days (so, 28 days total usage)...
It is too good to be true. What is the method and what apps do you use for android?
@@adyryzwych9737 try googling "Libre 1 restart magic code" ;) I can't post links here nor can I get into detailed information as the post will either be deleted or I will get banned :(
I live in the USA my sensor lasts 14 days not 10
I had a few that only went 10 days.
Hi I can teach you how to extend 2weeks
Dr. Gave me one to try. The piece of shit didn't even last 12 hours before telling me to put a new sensor on. Such a waste
f
Great, even 15 days it means I can cut cost 50% !!! I pay out off my own pocket.
I have been using my free style libre for about 3 months and I live in the USA I get 14 days and about 12 hours out of it not the 10 days you claim, lol
That's what he said. They are meant for 14 days however in the US the fda only approved them for 10. He even clarified that they are all exactly the same since they use the same software. 🤦🏻♀️ Active listening.
Pointless video, the Libre 1 already has a life of 14 days so unless you're in the US, its not worth it..
This SO "freaking" dangerous. They don't have the biochem & EE knowledge to know they're encouraging newbies to do this and will result in death and its pointless
