[Diabetes-Talk] Libre Sensor Question

[Jeanette Kutash]

There is a lot number on the box and it is hard to find. If you put the flap of the box toward you and feel the bottom of the box you will see some wreiting on the bottom of the box. I believe the numbers you need are in there. However, there is probably also a place in the app itself where you will see numbers representing the last three or so sensors you have used. The trick is that you also want to know when the sensor expires and as long as your sensor has  not expired they will replace it. 

I am not Joy, but I have had to get defective sensors replaced. I wish you good luck.

Hi, Joy.


Thank you for this.  do I need to give them any specific information?  
Is there a lot number on the sensor or anything? Just wondering in case 
I need to try scanning the box.


Thanks again, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done this.  It 
seems pretty obvious now how the applicator works.
