Some beers I have to bolus for, like 1-2 units per beer.

Other beers I don't need any insulin as my BG will basically just remain idle or go up a negligable amount.

Mysteriously the calorie and carb content doesn't seem to make a difference. For example there are some higher calorie craft beers with an abundance of carbs that don't affect my BG while there are some light low carb beers that I have to bolus for. I cannot simply drink a certain style or beer with a certain nutrition profile and know what to expect. It depends on the individual beer and I never know until I've tried it.

What gives? Is it certain ingredients? Does anybody else experience this?

Can't post this in the Freestyle Libre subreddit because they keep deleting it since it's moderated by Abbott shills.

As of today, I've had 1 out of 12 sensors work properly.

They keep sending me replacements that are just as bad or worse than the one they replaced it with.

Yes, I've seen the sticky thread on how to properly apply the sensor, and yes I've followed every step to the T since applying the second sensor.

Customer service refuses to tell me anything other than "we're sending you a new sensor, we need you to confirm your address."

Every day I'll have multiple readings with a horizontal arrow and it will be off by 50+ mg/dL. That's not exactly a product I would rate highly. Then their smoothing algorithm comes in and makes everything look better than it did an hour ago except I already have glucometer readings proving otherwise (coming from two different glucometers btw).

Oh, my BG never went above 130 even though it said it was 160 at the time and my glucometer read 226? Get out of here.

These things are defective. Plain and simple.
