Dislikes
Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Just checking.
I assume that as I have a new phone I need to keep the old phone running until my next sensor change?
I will be transferring as many Apps as I can across with as much data as will transfer, but I assume that the connection details of the current LibreLink will not allow me to immediately pick up the sensor on the new phone.

Anyone done this sort of thing recently?

Android phones.
 
Waited until the sensor ran out then started the new one on the new phone.
Both signed into the same LibreView account.
 
The sensor pairs with the phone that started it, so the safe route is what you guessed: keep the old phone until this sensor ends, then start the next sensor on the new phone. Your history won't be lost either way, it lives in your LibreView account rather than on the phone, so signing in with the same account on the new phone brings the logbook along. That's how I've done every phone switch since the original Libre.
