Customers say
Customers find the glucose meter completely pain-free to install and appreciate its ability to view trends. However, the functionality receives negative feedback, with customers reporting that the sensor only works 40% of the time. Moreover, the connectivity is problematic, with customers noting that it sometimes loses connection. Additionally, customers express dissatisfaction with the value for money, describing it as a low-quality CGM and a waste of money.

Fine
Hard to review. It is what it is. It’s quite expensive, but probably the best option if you want to track glucose levels. It arrived on time and packaging was ok, but that should be standard!

Bad performance and stopped working after 2 days
For a product so expensive the performance is AWFUL.Itâs fairly easy to set up though terrifying when you first get it out the pack, I was nervous to put this in but honestly you canât feel a thing which is super surprising because Iâm normally a big baby when it comes to things like this. The idea with the app and everything is great but unfortunately the performance doesnât hold up.This product is supposed to last you 14 days mine stopped working after 2, if you look online there is several people who have the same issue consistently and the company apparently is very good at replacing dodgy sensors but in all honesty I donât really wanna use the product again after my experience.I set the low glucose alarm to go off when I was below 3.9 mmmol/L and it was beeping at me so many times throughout the day leading to me freaking out, Iâd then check with a traditional monitor and it would be completely fine.It would also say low the alarm would go off then Iâd check on the app and within a few minutes that low reading would completely disappear and it would show as 4.8 or 5.0 or something within the range which I found odd.If you need to wear a CGM it is obviously important you get accurate results, you donât with this product so it is not worth the money.I also had weird pains throughout my left arm whilst wearing this that disappeared after I removed it, sure this could be placebo but honestly I wasnât bothered by its presence at all so Iâm not so sure. I had pulsating and aches like I had never experienced it was very strange, it could be possible that I had poked it on a nerve and there is also the possibility of the EMF from the product effecting me in some way as it is over the safe recommendation.

My sensor worked fine
I was slightly nervous about buying this, having read some negative reviews here about sensor failures, but I ordered, it arrived, and it worked flawlessly for the full 14 days. So I did not need to check out the after-sales service.I bought some waterproof plasters on Amazon and used one to protect it when showering, so maybe that helped. The sensor was easy to setup and worked fine with my Pixel 8.I don’t have, nor am I worried about, diabetes; I am only interested in monitoring my blood sugar levels from a self-care point of view. The app gave me a GMI score of someone who is pre-diabetic, but reading online indicated that this is misleading for someone who has not been officially diagnosed with diabetes.It was fascinating to watch how my blood sugar level reacted to the various foods I consumed over the two weeks.

DO NOT BUY !!!
DO NOT BUY !!!!The item arrived and I attached it to my arm as per the instructions. I had downloaded the App to my iPhone but the sensor wouldn’t scan at all, no matter what I did. I called the Abbot’s helpline and was told that I had bought an item that’s not sold OR supported in the UK and has been sold illegally !! They reluctantly agreed to replace the sensor but they had no obligation as it was not from one of their recommended retailers and it was a one off replacement. The new sensor arrived today and that too doesn’t scan FFS !!! Im now out of pocket and EXTREMELY ANNOYED !!This is a piece of garbage, don’t bother unless you want to lose money.

Seconds?
Not convinced about the quality of these sensors- i have had one before through the Zoe trial and the highs and lows were far more extreme.I did some finger prick tests and they gave me lows that never showed on this sensor – one day i had a glass of wine on an empty stomach and felt jittery. Sensor showed a reading of about 4.5 but the finger prick showed 3.5. The sensor never picked up the low.It also never registered me high in range or out of range.If you are diabetic i would get them from Abbott and pay the extra. If you are wanting to understand your glucose levels to help manage symptoms there may be some value in these ones but be aware of the accuracy issues

Good little thing
I like that you donât need to scanIt uses lots of the battery and sometimes losses connection there is no option to scan when it happens the only way to reconnect is by switching off and on the appGood small size and comfortable on the armHence 4 stars

Very good when they work but fail too often
I have had a 30% failure rate on these sensors. When they do work you have to be careful to keep them going for the full two weeks. That said when they work they are really good and give accurate information. Also i can confirm that these will not survive the modern airport security scans and its difficult to get security to believe you need a different type of check.
