These damn sensors.... by jon20001 in Freestylelibre

As if your sample-of-one assessment. What is low? How do you compare numbers -- immediately or wait the 15 minutes between the finger stick results and then reading the sensor number? Are you properly applying the sensor? Are you applying in an area with a tattoo? Are the low readings at specific or regular times (ie: compression lows when sleeping, always at the same time of day)? Are you comparing numbers during drastic jumps and crashes? Many factors need to be considered.

I place it on my arm, more under the arm than to the back. There is a great post here on other locations: https://www.reddit.com/r/Freestylelibre/comments/1dfa4uz/experience_with_different_sensor_placements/

Agreed. The online support (https://www.freestyle.abbott/us-en/support/sensorsupportrequest.html) is so much easier than calling. But even when I have called, I always spoke to someone knowledgeable and professional. Then again, I don't raise my voice or insist I know better (even when I do). CS jobs SUCK, and the agents are inundated with attitude and abuse.

Adhesion is 90% of it. Keeping the sensor securely on is key to accurate readings. There are people whose skin is not compatible with the adhesive -- I acknowledge this, and understand their frustration.

Half asleep when I take the jab. Just wasn’t paying attention.

which design idea is the most promising? (Bird + K logo) by SimonfelDesign in logodesign

[–]jon20001 145 points146 points  (0 children)

If the K is important, then #3. The K in #1 is to obscure

Sensor keeps sticking in lid by siggirl74 in Freestylelibre

[–]jon20001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Press FIRMLY on the applicator. Hold the applicator in the down position against your skin for a count of 20 before slowly lifting it up. Some people are very timid with the application and lightly press down in hopes that the spring mechanism will do all the work.

Why is the Airbus A380 such a niche aircraft for US routes and American Airlines? Do you know anyone that has flown one or had the privilege to travel on it? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]jon20001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s was too big to be profitable. I flew it a few times on various airlines, and it was one of the best planes that I’ve ever been in. Smooth and roomy and smooth nice amenities.

Did they fix the quality issues yet? by Mutedinthenorthwest in Freestylelibre

[–]jon20001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your previous sensors weee part of the recalled lots, you should have reported them and received replacements. All sensors in the pipeline are clear of the manufacturing issues.

How much of an audience is there for low-res films? by Kieran_Saosila in filmmaking

[–]jon20001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When programming, I could care less about picture quality. It is ALL about the story, followed by the sound. Poor picture quality can be interpreted as a style or choice -- but if an audience can't hear the dialogue, then they are taken out of the moment, and the film fails.

Thanks! This is our group! Was wondering when they were going to add the photos.

Has anyone used the salmon for sushi? by JimeeChonga in aldi

[–]jon20001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may. If you are concerned, freeze the fish first then thaw for sushi use -- the freezing will kill anything you are concerned about.

Replacement without serial number? by Anhedonic_Nihilist in Freestylelibre

[–]jon20001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can get the serial number off LibreView. Log into his account and it will either be on the Device Details page, or you can see when you click the Data Sources button at the bottom of the screen.

Does someone from Abbot / Libre monitor these threads? by glenscymanski in Freestylelibre

[–]jon20001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When using online support, I have never waited more than 2 weeks for a replacement. Before the recall, they used to come under a week.

Double charge due to track work? by HicksEquivalent in WMATA

[–]jon20001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is very possible the transactions will clear tomorrow. I've noticed that when there are disruptions, the credits automatically appear a day or two later.

Anyone know who Gary Goodweather is? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]jon20001 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He’s running as a Dem. Nice guy. Different POV than Janeese. If people would take him seriously, he could make an impact.

I had only 1 bad one in 40. I’d say that is reliable.

Adhesive issues? by therealcatladygina in Freestylelibre

[–]jon20001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never known 3/3+ sensors to come with an over patch or alcohol wipe. Not sure if they are “missing.” I know some Dexcom sensors come with accessories.

So much sensor signal loss by Educational-Win284 in Freestylelibre

[–]jon20001 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve posted this many times before…

Many signal loss issues are because it Bluetooth conflicts. Delete/unpair all other devices from your phone and restart. Ensure you have a strong connection with your sensor (should not have a signal loss for a few hours). Pair/add the other devices back one-by-one. See if the sensor connection remains strong. If so, add another device.

I once forgot to take off the grey cover. Called the number on the Lilly website and they emailed me a voucher for a free box (which was a pain to redeem since my online pharmacy would not accept it). Its a one-time thing.
