1/7 Monster AMPS 67, +5 65, +7 78 PMPS 94, +2 59

I am noticing, once again, the Libre is getting "stuck" at 53 especially is she's just laying down sleeping. The last contour reading I got was on the low side too 65, while Libre said 54. Because it's doing that, I think maybe it's faulty somewhat. It does get higher when she gets up and around and when she eats. Therefore, I'm not relying on the 53s and 54s I'm getting with it, but I am still putting all those numbers in her SS. I also know that if it falls below 53, then I need to test her because when it acts like this, 53 is the "magic" number.

I do know that it's not off by a huge margin anymore. If it's reading in the 50s and I test her and she's 70s or higher, then it catches up with that as she gets moving around. Maybe it just gets stuck in stagnant readings.....
I detailing all of this in hopes that it helps to understand it a bit better and possibly help anyone else who might be new to using a libre and/or having similar problems.

I did get the first replacement sensor I requested delivery yesterday and I requested 3 more today that they are sending out so I didn't waste my money on the ones that didn't work.
 
Huh, it sounds like you're getting the kind of numbers I get when Gen takes a dive (it likes to tell me he's in the 50s, then correct up to the 60s or low 70s).

Someone, somewhere should be doing studies on the variable readings Libres give for diabetic cats. They might make some new discoveries about how subcutaneous gluten levels work.

I'm glad they're sending you some replacements! I just got one in the mail last week. I should request a couple more for the other ones that failed in various ways, I just got nervous after it took so long to get a response last time. Did you use the website form, or call?
 
I used to form on their site for 2 of them on Dec 8th and 10th and I just got the first of those answered and received yesterday. This time I did Facebook messenger and got an answer for all three at the same time. It was immediate!
Edit to add: I started off with one that stopped working after 5 days, and then when she asked if I needed anything else, I said well I have 2 that stuck in the applicator while applying. They had me watch/review how to apply it, asked a few questions then said they would replace those too.
