Just okay, small and accurate but wouldn’t stay put!

Could be operator error, but both of the libre sensors fell/ got knocked off of my arm. I was testing them out to see if I wanted to switch because it is cheaper with my insurance, but I think I’ll stick with my Dexcom and pay more. It was significantly smaller than the Dexcom and I felt no pain on insertion so maybe the adhesive just didn’t work with my skin. Accuracy was spot on and I have no complaints about the delivery speed so this might be a good option for some.

Libre 3+ review

App needs more granularity/visibility to exact glucose numbers (peaks and troughs) versus small lines on a graph (unless you want to watch the app constantly). The sensor itself is good and easy to affix to your arm. Very small/compact which is very nice and reduces the possibility it will get caught on something and come off.
