Libre 2+

[Diabeticliberty]

Well folks I just got wind that Abbott are phasing out Libre 2 and replacing it with Libre 2+. Their Website is extremely vague about what the new sensor is intended to do or why they are phasing the new one in. I must add though that it doesn't take a genius to work it out. Does anybody know what it will involve? More importantly will Xdrip+ continue to work with it and will the original version of OOP2 continue to translate? Over to all of you from all of me.

Libre 2+ = 15 Days
Libre 2 = 14 Days

Thank you for your reply. I was actually aware of the extra day of lifespan that the new sensor brings. I am more concerned about whether the new units will work with Xdrip+ and the OOP2 translator. For my own purposes although by no means perfect Xdrip+ has been an absolute game changer in diabetes management. This also applies to a lot of other type 1's who I have recommended Xdrip+ to. Some love it and some just like it. One thing on which we all seem to agree is that Librelink is absolutely dreadful.

Maybe @tzachi-dar can answer regarding OOP2.

since 31/5/24 the OOP2 and xDrip+ versions can handle the UK / EU Libre 2+

The Latin American, Russian US etc L2+ are not supported.

Many thanks for your reply. I have yet to speak to anyone who used Libre 2+ but am cautious of the corporate silliness of Abbott

I used one, somewhere on here is the discussion at the time (20/5-31/5) where tzachi-dar made changes to accommodate the new sensor code of the 2+ and i tested it.

Could I ask what you made of it please. Good, bad or indifferent?

Same, with an extra day.
