Libre Sensor and Blood
Part One
A Test Gone Wrong
 |
| A Bleeder I wanted to test something posted on a forum: Attach your next sensor earlier, without activating, to increase accuracy. I attached the new one which promptly bled. Never had that happen before! ResearchI went online and found different results when blood comes out the sensor hole1 - it works 2 - it works with better accuracy 3 it doesn't work at all after the 12 hour start up Well that didn't help at all!! AND I found different opinions regarding how long to "pre"insert a sensor for greater accuracy. I have 2 hours left on my old sensor. It seems in the USA, where the start up is 12 hours, 12-24 hours early is often done. This is not Libre approved but neither is placement other than the upper arm YET people place them in other spots (more on that later) A New TestBecause it bled, I decided to just take off the old one and start the new one. Tomorrow we will know if it works...... Have a great numbers day! Jay |
I have replaced the bleeder as well. Reason was it didn't stop bleeding, my question is does Libre company replace these sensor or do I have to eat the cost?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay. Libre will replace, for free, sensors that quit working or give error messages. I have learned bleeders typically work just fine and to use as normal.
