On my second sensor only........
First one, I inserted late in evening, when BG low, would not activate at all for nearly 24 hours, then consistently measured 0.5 below BG.
Second one, i inserted when BG was high (for me) at about 9.0............has been in for 3 days, and always measuring 0.5 - 2.3 above my BG readings. i am confident my BG meter is very accurate.
Could it be that the libre sensor is sensitised by the initial glucose environment it finds itself in??
For the next one, I am planning to insert it when I know my BG is about 6.0 and likely to stay there for a while.
