Hi , I also use Freestyle Libre only 1 Sensor a month > it only lasts only 2 weeks , it will go dead after that . When I have doubts about the numbers ( especially the highs n lows ) I will check with test strips to determine the accurate number .When I first try it out , it gave me ridiculous readings , n I then realise it’s was faulty , I made a complain n got a replacement. It’s an expensive device. Rgds Dinah

My advice is know your body. Don't put all your trust in automation. You need to know when things don't look right and perform a manual blood test. In the short time I've had the system I returned 2 sensors for giving me readings that were clearly wrong. They replaced both. The bottom line is this is supplement to your care not the first line of defense.
