Is anyone finding the newer Freestyle Libre 2 (15 day) a bit glitchier than the older one?

I'm on my fourth or fifth new type, 15 day, Freestyle Libre 2 and it seems to be need to self-calibrate much more often than the previous 14 day one. It also seems to over-shoot changes, then readjust, more than the previous type too. So I'll go shooting down and look as though I'm going low, so I go for a fingerpick to double check and by the time I've done that the sensor has completely changed its mind and decided that I never left the green zone.

I've got the Libre 2 plus, it's the only type of sensor I have had since I started taking insulin in December.

I've had loads of false hypos, the worst as 3.3 when my fingerprick was 5.8! It makes me worry how accurate it is overall.

My last sensor shut itself down and said it had a fault. I did get it replaced by the manufacturer without a problem.
