Hi, I've taken advantage of the free 2 weeks but haven't yet put the sensor on or completed uploading the app. Have been following others posts but there so many can't find the answers I need, so...
1. Are covering patches essential? I do a fair mount of exercise
2. What are the best covering patches, and from where?
3. I understand its best to allow 24-48 hours to settle in. If I don't link it to the app until after that time, do I still get full 2 weeks, or Does this time get taken off?
4. Have I understood how to get it settled OK? Is there any thing different I need to do?
5 what is calibration and do I need to do it?
6 how do I work out which arm to put it on? Am right handed but sleep on my right
7 do I need anything extra...in other words what are all the miau, xdrip and other words/apps I don't understand on here?
Not that I'm overthinking this at all...just wanted one for so long and don't want to wreck it
