Just got my FreeStyle Libre, put on the sensor waited the hour and started my first scan. Sensor 3.1 mmol/L, but I didn't feel low so tested on meter, 6 mmol/L. Been continuously scanning and finger prick testing, Lastest result, Sensor 3.2 mmol/L meter 6.4. It's been like this for about 5 hours the smallest difference (from a sample of 10 tests) has been 2.5 mmol/L (the sensor was low) and the biggest 4 mmol/L (the sensor was low).
I've read on some of the forums that sometimes the sensors sort themselves out after a few hours, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience of this happening, and if so how long it took, or should I just try the second sensor?
Thanks in advance
