This is going to be SO helpful to my hubby. He's often got VERY rapid rises. Like, ten points in ten minutes rapid. We already measure every half hour and it's not enough! So, this is going to be awesome for him. He also knocks it off his arm every now and then...so, the smaller size too is very welcome! Thank you for making this video and the comparison! Looking forward to your review.

[@fyveluther]

Another banging video. Excited for the full review!

[@courtneyrobinson3465]

Sooo exciting:D can't wait!

[@Marod1970]

Thx for the review. Can’t wait to have it In France.

[@TheMonsieurpolo]

As usual, very instructive video. Looking forward to hearing about battery life expectancy. Thx for your work and commitment. NAD

[@Andrew-ps9kq]

Wow can't get over how small the sensor is. Been using the libre 2 for 8 months or so. Have to say this has helped me get better control of my type 1 LADA.

[@lilialanda4554]

Im type Lada too, but al least 2 times de freestyle scratch my skin!

[@R0LL1]

Please compare with your Dexcom G7 Mockup. I tried the Libre 3 and I was thinking to switch from dexcom. Would like to know your opinion as well.

[@davidemery9376]

Do you know if it saves readings if you are out out communication range with your phone for a certain length of time, in the way the current libre has a rolling 8 hours? Thanks. Plus I'll be able to use the smaller tegaderm patch when I need to cover it...

[@thaliafernandez1852]

Can you slide the range just like nutrisense?

[@drizztdurden9045]

Happy to see you, thank you :)

[@thejordanflynn]

What a game changer! Wish we could get it here in NZ, we are still on Libre 1 :/

[@SofiaMBurdiles]

can it connect to smart watches?

[@thestarswillshineagain1824]

Love the video kamil!! Also love diabetesis, she helped me choose my Dana Pump!

[@Nerdabetic]

Amazing!!!

[@MrHEMIII]

Does FS Libre3 work with an iWatch?

[@scottburrell4100]

Interesting video Kamil, thank you. Be a game changer when this is approved and on the NHS. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Also be good if Abbott have designated apps for smart watches too, if not I'm sure they'll be some in the third party underworld. Looks great, 1 min updates I'd be a big fan of when running and accuracy looks spot on too. Size doesn't really bother me as I've no issues with current L2 size but I certainly won't moan with it being made smaller. Cheers.

[@capfluff]

Is there any news on Android version of librelink 3 release date?

[@galyna9576]

Its I-C-E, but sooo cute you call it ice :) never thought of it :))) made me smile

[@Nerdabetic]

Hahha they spelled it ICE and not I-C-E 😂🤣

[@villadsengel]

What is the range like?

[@briankokernak2804]

Thanks for making this. It's tiny! I'm stuck with Medtronic due to "exclusive partnership" with my insurance provider but hopefully project Synergy is just as small, whenever the h3ll that is going to come out.

[@abdallahalmaqbali5124]

Can you please talk about stand alone watches (with sim card) that can be used with miao miao freestyle libre?

[@6387mbrown]

Hi Kamil, this looks great, I’ve had to revert to version1 as version2, kept coming up with sensor failure. Hoping version3 will be more reliable! Any news when it’ll work with the T:Slim pump?

[@4cysmith]

at 0:54 you open the sensor applicator in one smooth move. I grunt and moan and swear and cut my fingers when I am trying to separate my spplicator. what am I doing wrong? I have a Libre 3

[@timesmight3922]

HI 👋 Pls do you know where to buy this in UK 🇬🇧 ? If not available where did you buy in Europe? Kindly share it will be of great use 🙏

[@CaroGoLoop]

Is it true, that there is still no app for android devices? 🧐

[@emilyacoxpsychic]

I’m confused….. is the a needle that pokes your skin???

[@magalhacarlos]

Is there an librelink App for it?

[@Nerdabetic]

It’s a separate app called ‘ Libre 3’. Librelink is only used for Libre 1 and 2

[@lavellvelez2157]

You’re so adorable. Thank you. I’d like to ask you some things about the omnipod

[@Nerdabetic]

Hahah thank you! I recently interviewed Omnipod CEO - Shacey Petrovic. Video on my channel. Let me know if you have any questions

[@lavellvelez2157]

@@Nerdabetic I saw it and I think that its clear but I don't know if I can get use to the fact that I cannot disconnect when I go low. It's a bad habit, I know it automatically shuts down. It would be a change. I will be contacting once I review everything about omnipod Im not sure I know enough to pick your brain.

[@frankl4497]

Can't wait to see your comprehensive review and how the data accuracy compares to Dexcom G6 over the next 2 weeks

[@rymcgovern2727]

Are you able to DIY-loop with the L3 or must you still use a Dexcom?

[@ebouchut]

Thx for the unboxing :-) eagerly waiting for the comprehensive review. Is it possible to disable **all** alarm sounds when needed?

[@sandervberkum]

WhatsApp the impact of L3 on battery life?

[@KousukeTheKing]

Nice video! Does the Libre 3 also have an Apple Watch app?

[@johnm6216]

Very good video. FL3 looks good. One question, can you control the alarms to just vibrate instead of the vocal warning? I don’t think you can do this with FL2. Handy for nighttime, while in meetings, cinema etc….

[@russelldemczak8510]

You can set it to just vibrate on the FSL2. It's all I've ever used. At least on the US version.

[@johnm6216]

@@russelldemczak8510 Thanks Russell. I should have stated that I didn’t mean by using the FL2 reader. I meant using LibreLink on the IPhone. Is there a way of setting the alarms to vibrate there?

[@acevedodamian]

Thanks Kamil !! great video. I would like to know how can i integrate this with nightscout, .. to monitor my daughter when is sleeping, or at school. ( today im using freestyle libre 1 with miao miao + xdrip ) thanks

[@pollux901]

I hope they release the test packet compatible with Android soon.

[@martinjones127]

Thanks for the great video! Do you know if they will make an Apple Watch app too? Take care.

[@donalmccann32]

Interested to hear this too. Having the complication on your watch would be perfect.

[@robertdarbyshire6015]

V interested in whether there’s a watch complication too. I’m bored of explaining to my team why I use DiaBox

[@sherrillrn]

in Canada we pronounce it milli-moles :)

[@mr.k905]

Wonder if is as buggy on the phone app vs. the extra device as v2. I had several instances where my iPhone 7 told me to install a new sensor without any good reason (after showering). It still worked with my device luckily.

[@Ba1ster]

Can you have the readings on the AW? Any idea when it’s coming to the UK? Thankyou for your video! Great insight!!👍🏽😊

[@florencecomite8879]

is this Libre 3 Bluetooth compatible? Thanks!

[@victoriatabink1099]

It works via bluetooth

[@Nerdabetic]

Yes, it’s all Bluetooth.

[@danc6464]

Still waiting for this or the G7 in the US but unfortunately still crickets 🦗 here!

[@fyveluther]

What’s the compatibility like/going to be like with closed loop supported pumps?

[@fyveluther]

Also, any news on if existing nhs patients with libre 2 will be upgraded? And pricing of them in general?

[@marcovanham8336]

We have the app in the Netherlands en Belgium to

[@Andrew-ps9kq]

Hi quick question about the libre3 app. Is it backwards compatible meaning when you install it on your phone and start using it, does it show the results of the libre2 and 1 app. Or do you lose all data and start again?

[@teatreaoil9667]

Does it have mandatory critical alarms like the libre 2 app?

[@acopty]

Thanks. Insightful. Can you order it to Japan?

[@Nerdabetic]

No. It’s only available in Germany at the moment.

[@payam7777777]

@@Nerdabetic is prescription necessary?? im not in germany. can my friend buy/send it to me abroad?!

[@lesleydoherty8769]

Ohh Super excited to hear how about your experiences with Libre3. Question if I may, “ is there any skin / burn reaction during your trial?”

[@thestone9098]

Hey Nerdy-B, looking forward to your 2-week review! I was wondering if you can set your own alarm values? Like; which number would cause it to say you were low? Can i have 5.5 mmol/l, for example?

[@Euan17]

Good question!

[@jodistibbard4625]

Can you use the Apple Watch to display BSL.

[@GizmoStu]

Hi Kamil. This looks great and I can't with for it to arrive on prescription in the UK. One question though, Have you found a way to add the data as a complication on your Apple Watch? That would be so cool. Thanks for your video. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼

[@gayegoreli2589]

Exited like you , hope readings will be fine as well , it looks like a wee sensor , waiting for 2 weeks results 🤞

[@Iryna.H]

Hi. Did you buy it from the pharmacy or website? Is it possible to buy from a local pharmacy?

[@dianabarbir5424]

Thank you so much for this valuable video! Do you know how we can get it if we don’t live in Germany? How can we buy it and have it shipped ? Thanks again!

[@techknow9237]

How do you take it Fs-L off - do you just pull it out ?

Hi K Where did you purchase these from and how much were they?

[@Nerdabetic]

My friend bought them for me in Germany as I mentioned in my video.

[@WASN55]

Abbott just released the Libre 2 in Canada, so I'm sure this is a couple years minimum for us. A comparison between this and the Dexcom G6 would be great.

[@Uninc1010]

Can you make sure to comment on the Libre 3 alarm capabilities? Especially for those of us that can sleep through overnight hypo alarms!

[@madeathome4098]

Omg! See you looking how small Is It! I'm going back and forth to see your face

[@Nerdabetic]

It truly is tiny

[@Dhufeeri]

Does libre 3 support LibreLinkUp like Libre 2? Thats really important to monitor my kid.

[@alexandrosventouras8699]

After more than 1 year announced and still available only in Germany... Disappointing

[@lilialanda4554]

Well at least after a year you can get it, in México you can not to get the libre 2 yet, we are still with the libre 1.

Great great !! You said “4 alarms” what are they ? The dark mode is always the WINNER 😎❤️❤️❤️

[@TypeOneTalks]

I had the same question:) On the version I have right now. There is low alarm, high alarm, and signal loss alarm (same as Libre 2). But maybe Abbott added something in between... I'm sure he will cover it in the next video!

[@ayman_khuzundar]

@@TypeOneTalks Abbott still need lots of improvements in their application, notifications settings like: sounds, alarms at deferent BG values, make a gadget showing BG without the need yo enter the application ..etc So, I wish they will do these ideas in Libre 3

@@karl76uk it's really good. There are some great groups on Facebook that are really helpful and supportive. Of course check any info with your diabetes team but Facebook groups have been amazing for me! I found out I needed pancreas enzymes (i had my pancreas removed as a new born) and I only found out through a Facebook group. I should have been taking this medication for 25 years and I had no idea about it until someone told me. Give it a try, you will probably really like the groups :)

[@SebaP1991]

What is the price of the Free Style Libre 3? Can you compare side by side, day by day with Dexcom and with readings from your glucometer? I think that would give everyone an insight regarding the accuracy. Best regards!

[@KSMotz]

The every minute update seems very useful for connecting faster after being out of range of the phone, especially for kids running around the house etc. Would be interested in knowing how well it keeps on, if it's easily knocked off or the tape loses grip after a few days. And conversely how easy it is to get off at the end of the session. Would also like to know if it has a "follow app" for parents or the ability to send to a cloud feature like nightscout. App availability for Android would be good to know, and "hackability" of that app to use with looping apps (let other apps read glucose levels).

[@albargain77]

omg i need this in my life ASAP..come to canada please. skip the 2 and just bring the 3

[@viniciusschadeck4992]

I'am from brazil and want this soo badly... I play paintball and do others stuff that smaller and easier to protect will be a must! I love libre 1, no libre 2 here. Soo i use it with miaomiao and xDrip+ but, i not like the calibrarion step on xDrip+, values differ to much with the scanner and always will be different than glucose tests anyway, because of tile delay, try to calculate it sideways i consider too dangerous, soo, raw data i prefer, not algorithmy calculated stuff. But, this is a huge improvement i love to had right now
