@Mr. Anderson
my sensor is not connecting to the meter
Your Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor may not be connecting to the meter due to the following reasons:
1. Signal Loss – The sensor has not communicated with the app in the last 5 minutes. Ensure your phone is within 33 feet of the sensor and that you have not force-closed the app. Try turning Bluetooth off and on again, or restart your phone.
2. Bluetooth Off – Bluetooth may be disabled. Go to your phone settings and enable Bluetooth.
3. Sensor Error – The sensor is unable to provide a glucose reading. Wait for the duration specified in the message and try again.
4. Sensor Not Applied Properly – If you see a “Check Sensor” message, the sensor may not have been applied correctly. Remove it and apply a new one.
5. Sensor Ended – If the sensor has reached the end of its life, apply and start a new sensor.
If the issue persists despite troubleshooting, you may need to replace the sensor.

the reading is too Hight, how can adjust it?
The Abbott Libre 3 sensor may read higher than a blood glucose meter due to interstitial fluid differences and sensor placement. To manage this:
1. Allow 10–15 minutes for blood-interstitial fluid delay before comparing readings.
2. Ensure the sensor is applied correctly—only on the back of the upper arm.
3. Avoid placing the sensor on areas with sweat or movement, as this can affect accuracy.
4. If the sensor becomes loose or unreliable, replace it.
5. Do not reinsert a loose sensor; follow instructions for proper application.
6. If consistently inaccurate, contact Customer Service for support.
The device does not allow manual calibration to adjust readings.

I **** supposed to do random BS checks when I start to have certain symptom for a month to see if they are caused by my BS. I see that it is controlled through the app on the phone, but I work in a prison and **** not able to have my phone. Is there a website i can use to help check and monitor my BS? is there a button I can press on the device that will allow the BS to be checked and logged? It isn't worth my money if it requires the use of a phone to monitor.
No, the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 streams glucose readings directly to a smartphone every minute and does not mention an alternative way to check or log blood sugar levels without a smartphone.

My sensor lost connection with my device. I turned blue tooth off and on and then my phone off and on and then I tried to reactivate it.
To address the connection issue between your Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor and your device, follow these steps:
1. Ensure Proper Sensor Application: Confirm that the sensor is correctly applied to the back of your arm as per the instructions in the manual.
2. Use the Correct App: Download and install the FreeStyle Libre 3 app from the App Store (for iPhone) or Google Play Store (for Android).
3. Start the Sensor with the App: Use the app to initiate the sensor after properly applying it.
4. Check Compatibility: Ensure your phone and operating system are compatible with the FreeStyle Libre 3 app. Some issues may arise if your device or OS is unsupported.
5. Contact Abbott Customer Care: If the issue persists despite following these steps, reach out to Abbott Customer Care. They may provide further assistance or replace faulty sensors.
If it is unclear whether this is an Apple device or app-related issue, contacting Abbott's support team for clarification is recommended.
