Another Bad Libre 2 Sensor

I had another Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor fail on me. The sensor was only two days old; they cost $100 and are supposed to last fourteen days. I made a good scan at around 7:00 pm, took a nap, and tried to scan at 11:00 pm and got an error message to replace the sensor.

I do not remember hitting anything with it. I have banged into doorframes before, but previous sensors always kept working. Since my pharmacy only gave me six sensors per prescription, I need all of them to last their full duration before getting another refill.

Last time this happened, I filled out a form online and Abbott sent me a replacement sensor. I went online, found a slightly different webpage, and reported the error. Unbeknownst to me, the form was for Abbott Australia. I just received an email notifying me about that fact, and that they are unable to help me. Ugh. I got back online, found the right webform, and filled it out again. Hopefully I will get an answer on Tuesday.
