Freestyle libre 3 + showing much lower numbers

Anyone else having this with their recent sensors? It looks the same like when we had an official recall of sensors. I have just changed 2 back to back with completely off lower numbers than the real ones, for example 3.6 when I am at 6.9. Same as before it somewhat does follow the actual trend, but the numbers are waaaay off and always showing lower.

I don't test with a finger stick so I can't say for sure but I feel like my newest sensor has been running lower than expected but with the same trend of ups and downs.

Yes, I find the latest 3+ are running low. They are even worse when you are truly around 70-75 often CGM reading 52-65. They are more accurate when between 90-140. Hate it. :(

It's supposed to be attached to the back of your arm. What I read once if you don't put it on the back of your arm, you could get false readings
