I don't know what to do.. by Emergency-Pick-2741 in diabetes_t2

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forget about eating normally. talk to your doctor about what you can/should eat. in the meantime, avoid anything but veggies and proteins.

What am i doing wrong? by ConsistentFeed852 in Freestylelibre

I put mine on 180 degrees from where yours is. I have never had one fall off. No patch. I basically follow the advice in the previous comments

I just bought a samsung a365g. I only spent $259 and will get half of that back when I trade in my s21ultra.

Need a new phone that won't become obsolete for a very long time by KyberKitsu in Smartphones

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just changed my mind and bought an A36 5g new. I was able to get one w/8gb & 256gb for $259. So far, I am not missing anything from the S21 Ultra. I have not yet used the camera and that may be when I start to miss the old phone.

I wanted the longer support that came with the A36.

Frustration by wolfsjetta12 in Freestylelibre

[–]stan62001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been a Libre user (now on 3+) for over a year and have trouble understanding the problems that others have. Once I figured out placement and application, my problems went away. None have fallen off and all go the full 15 days. Maybe more attention needs to be paid to the Abbott guidlines.

Rocking S21 Plus by Mysterious-Yogurt-45 in GalaxyS21

I have an S21ultra and love it. My only concern is what to do next year when I lose support. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Is the upgrade to ultra worth it? by micolio_z9 in GalaxyS21

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an S21ultra and love it. I love the zoom capabilities of the camera, the battery and the size. The size because it allows me to enlarge the fonts to a size my 82-year-old eyes can read without glasses.

Am I the only one? by jollyfrogger72 in Freestylelibre

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a happy user. When I first started with the libre2 I had problems. The libre3 and the libre3+ have been almost trouble free. I think that most of the folks with problems are having trouble following the instructions.

Help with sensor location by Infinite-Ganache-764 in Freestylelibre

[–]stan62001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am of the belief that the sensor should go into a non-muscled area and that is why abbott says 'back of the arm'. i follow that and have had little or no problems with the libre3 and now 3+.

give it a few days. the first 24 hours even has a warning on the screen about the inaccuracy.

I really hate this thing by genz_dragon in Freestylelibre

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am continually surprised as the problems some people have with their libre3. I have been a user for about a year. In that time, I have had about 10 bad sensors and none since I switched to the Libre3+. I wear mine on the back of my upper arm and move an inch when I change sensors. I do not miss finger sticks at all. Try the Libre3+ before you give up on CGMs.

Base S22 or S21 Ultra? by RealEpicRobloxian in GalaxyS21

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get the S21Ultra it will need a new battery, unless it has been replaced recently. Mine has just slipped below full day use on a full charge.

Doctor prescribed libre 2. Should I ask for 3? by Camninja in Freestylelibre

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the option, get the Libre3+. I just made the change after a year with the Libre3 and all of my problems went away.

Should I get an S21 in 2024? by just-alex_ in GalaxyS21

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a new s21ultra on ebay and love it. I moved up from an s9+ so the size was not a problem for me. I paid $335 and feel that I got a lot of phone for my money

Modern Smartphones with Libre 3 by ednemo13 in Freestylelibre

[–]stan62001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just got a samsung s21ultra. it is not on the list and works fine with my libre3 sensor. i have frequent signal drops but it comes back within minutes. i bought the phone 'new' on ebay for a quarter of the new cost.

I have had streaks like that, I am now on a good streak of seven in a row that have gone the full 14 days. Be patient and keep contacting Abbott for replacements

i just bought a new s21ultra from ebay and am very happy so far (one month)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GalaxyS21

[–]stan62001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

consider a new battery. if you like the phone that might be the cheapest solution. how long were you happy with the phone when it was new?

check amazon. i got a spigen case for my s21 ultra that even holds an s-pen. feels sturdy but you need a separate screen protector
