Freestyle Libre sensor came off..

[unietis]

Today I was a bit clumsy and hit my arm along the door.. and in the result the sensor came off.

It still had 9 days left, and that's what the reader thinks. My question is - Can i initiate a new sensor? On the reader i didn't find an option to start a new sensor. Can i just scan the new sensor and reader will automatically initiate that new sensor over the old one?

If you put a new sensor on, and then try to scan it the reader will ask you if you want to start a new sensor, hitting yes it will then ask you to scan the new sensor to activate it.

Unlucky about the door - we've all done it at some point!

Thanks! Worked as you wrote.

Next time just need to be more careful

I've found the slightest difference in the position of the sensor can make a huge difference. Also, I clonk my right arm far more than my left.

Basically the lower and further round it is, the better. Which is common sense of course, but I still had to have practical lessons in it!
