Event Description
The abbott freestyle libre reader was reading normal blood sugar level, but my glucose was actually 56. The sensors have been repeatedly failing after 6-8 days but they are approved for 14. The adhesive is irritating causing redness and swelling. The sensor adhesive begins failing after 5 days. I have my reading device that has some of the sensor failure dates, but i'm not sure how many. I did contact abbott and they authorized replacements but that doesn't work with prescriptions. Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
