Hi all can anyone help me?
I bought a Libra sensor and applied it to my arm. For the first couple of days the readings differed a lot to the readings on my insight. The Libra told me I was 3.4 whilst the insight said I was 7.2. After the first two days it seemed to settle and readings were more in line.
I have just purchased two more which I intend to use whilst I am on holiday.
I have read on this forum that it is common for the readings to take at least 24 hours to work correctly. This is a bit of a pain when they cost £50.00 a time.
What I am thinking is:
If I was to insert the sensor but not scan it for 24 hours would this give it time to adjust without using one of the 14 days that the sensor works for?
Thank you x
