I'm new to CGMs and have used the traditional testing method with my meter for 20 years. I'm wondering if y'all experience vast misreadings between your meter and the libre 3 (like 100mg/dl off?). I kept getting low alerts and have not been low. I'm curious if you have any troubleshooting ideas?

On a kind of separate note, I've noticed that while using the CGM, I'm really hyper-vigilant about my bloodsugars in a way that is kind of stressful. And i'm also experiencing some tenderness around the site of my cgm (I have a high sensitivity to things on my skin, but it feels like there's a reaction brewing). Any advice about these things/shared experience?
